Everton: Frank Lampard on the bench for the first time in the FA Cup
Lampard will be on the Toffees’ bench for the first time next Saturday (5 February) in the FA Cup fourth round match against Brentford. “It’s a great honor for me to represent and coach a club of Everton’s heritage and size,” said the 43-year-old Englishman.
Lampard, who ended his active career in February 2017, has previously held two positions as a professional head coach. After a year at second division Derby County, he took over Chelsea in the summer of 2019, but had to resign from the Londoners in January 2021 after around a year and a half.
