I’m disappointed – Frank Lampard speaks out after being fired as Everton manager

Frank Lampard, a Chelsea star, has spoken out after being fired as Everton manager.

Lampard, one of England’s finest midfielders, was fired by Goodison Park’s owners on Monday after a 10-game losing streak that included eight defeats.

The former Chelsea and Derby County manager left Everton in the relegation zone.

After 20 games, the Toffees sit 19th in the table. They have never been demoted from the Premier League and could end up in the Championship next season.

The Toffees were also sinking last season before Lampard was appointed on a rescue mission which he achieved having taken over from Rafael Benitez.

Following his dismissal, the 44-year-old released a statement saying, “Coming into Everton last year, I knew we were in a tough moment.”

The Englishman stated that he will be forever grateful for the incredible work and support he received from everyone on the team.

He thanked everybody, adding that “I will never forget the incredible night against Palace that we shared.

“I’m disappointed that we couldn’t achieve more together and wish all the players and everyone at Everton FC the very best for the future.”
