Everton sack Frank Lampard and go all out for Marcelo Bielsa

After the weekend defeat, the English of Everton terminated the contract of their coach, Frank Lampard , having recorded a losing streak and added red numbers throughout the 2022-23 campaign, leaving him in a difficult Premier League present. After his DT is fired, an old acquaintance appears on his horizon, Marcelo Bielsa . Coach with extensive experience in Europe, knowledgeable about the competition and, in addition, has been a free agent since last season after disassociating himself from united leeds .

In January 2022, the former Everton manager found himself at Goodison Park on a mission to replace Spaniard Rafael Benítez in his role and free the team from relegation, a goal he has achieved in recent years. dates. However, this year the results did not live up to expectations and, faced with ten games without a win, Everton decided to cut contractual relations.

The Blues’ numbers aren’t good. In this campaign, they won only three victories and 15 points in 20 games played , which made them find themselves almost at the bottom of the table (penultimate). Problem which adds to the repeated altercations in which fans, owners and footballers have been involved, having strong exchanges of words before the present of the club.

the first alternative which seems to land at Everton, it’s Marcelo Bielsa. An Argentinian coach, with character and who knows the English league. Moreover, he has the experience of leading teams in these kinds of situations. Each of these factors are assets that appeal to the leadership of the Blues, who are looking for a quality replacement and who will lead them to maintain the category.

So say the English media, who claim that at Everton they are targeting Marcelo Bielsa from Rosario, former coach of Chile , as heavy favorites to take over the Toffees for the rest of the season. This would gain strength, since it is easier for the club to negotiate ahead of his present as a free agent. Added to this there are already steps for Premier League with Leeds United, club with which he gained promotion and left the first category team for an entire season, marking a milestone in Leeds history.

Moreover, Bielsa’s career becomes relevant to be Liverpool’s first team option. Steps through clubs like Athletic Club, Olympique de Marseille, Lille OSC and, the recently mentioned, Leeds United are experiences that add points for the Argentine to join the Blues.

While Liverpool’s option is concrete, it’s not the only one Loco has. The former La Roja DT is also closely followed by the Mexican national team and commands a new qualification process for the next World Cup in 2026. Added to this are offers from Argentinian clubs, but without clear options to the continuation of the desires of the strategist to follow in high performance.

To join the ranks of Everton, the task for Bielsa is not the easiest. The team currently in 19th place with 15 points also has a disheartening record. He has scored just two or more goals in two of the 20 Premier League games played and only goal difference keeps him from bottom of the table currently, which is momentarily occupied by Southampton.

On the other hand, outside the courts, there are also problems. Last Saturday’s loss to West Ham (2-0) put an end to the patience of Liverpool supporters and they expressed it to the leaders. Primarily, for fans, Everton chairman Farhad Moshiri and a group of executives are to blame for the Toffees’ presentation. In addition, during the last duel, neither manager was able to travel to Goodison Park in person due to the “threats” against your safety.

In this sense, another of the ways of expressing one’s dissatisfaction, but in a “calm” , is when the fans decided not to accompany their team in one of the games. On this occasion, only one person attended the meeting. Situation that had not occurred since October 2021.
