As the younger element of one of football’s best-known father and son duos – and surely the most-illustrious to share the same name – Frank Lampard would be best-served solving Everton’s midfield problems by regenerating himself. However, in the absence of a time machine that can turn back the clock a couple of decades, the Blues boss, who celebrated his 44th birthday earlier this week, instead must look for others to try and emulate the kind of role he fulfilled with such vigour during his own playing days.

Given that Lampard moved from West Ham United to Chelsea for £11million back in 2001 at a time when Everton’s record transfer fee was little more than half that amount, in truth the Blues could probably have never afforded him in his pomp. At Stamford Bridge, Lampard would develop into the most-prolific midfielder in Premier League history and currently sitting sixth on the competition’s all-time scorer’s list with 177 goals, he remains the only non-striker in the top 19.

Everton have appointed Duncan Ferguson as their new manager in am interim capacity following the dismissal of Spanish tactician Rafael Benitez. Ex-Newcastle United and Liverpool boss Benitez was given a three-year deal until 2024 when the Toffees gave him the job last summer.

As things stand on the Premier League log, Everton are in 16th spot and just six points above the relegation zone.

Duncan Ferguson was previously the interim manager at Everton and he will step into the role once again for the upcoming games as revealed via a statement by the club earlier this week.

A lot of managers have been linked with the Everton job since the dismissal of the aforementioned and Frank Lampard is one of those managers.

Lampard attained legendary status at West London giants Chelsea after winning several titles for the club and also emerging as their all-time leading goalscorer. He was appointed as the Chelsea manager in the summer of 2019 after he led Derby County to the Championship playoffs against Aston Villa.

Derby County gave Frank Lampard his first managerial job and he led the club to the playoff final in his only season with them before they were beaten 2-1 by Villa.

In his first season at Chelsea, Frank Lampard was able to secure Champions League football with fourth place despite the transfer ban slapped on the club and the former England midfielder was hailed as one of the best young managers in English football. Things fell apart for him in the Chelsea dugout towards the middle of last season which was his second season as Blues manager. He fell out with senior players such as Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicuetaand the lack of results in the Premier League led to his sack and the appointment of German tactician Thomas Tuchel.

Rudiger and Azpilicueta featured heavily for Tuchel as he helped turn around Chelsea’s season. The former Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05 manager led the Blues to fourth spot and Champions League football qualification. He also reached the FA Cup final with the Blues before they were beaten by Leicester City via a 1-0 scoreline. Afterwards, he led Chelsea to a second Champions League title at the expense of Manchester City in the final which ended in a 1-0 win.

New Manchester United signing Sancho left German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the summer to sign for the Red Devils in an €85m deal. After a slow start for his new club, Sancho has picked up his form in recent weeks.

Sancho also told the aforementioned media portal that he supported Chelsea when the likes of Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba were at the club.
