Lampard is delighted to be reunited with his long-term club and England teammate Ashley Cole. The newly-appointed Everton manager said:
Lampard added:
Cole, widely regarded as one of the best full-backs of his generation, is looking forward to working with Lampard at Everton. The 41-year-old said:
Lampard already has a stellar backroom staff at Goodison Park including assistant managers Joe Edwards and Duncan Ferguson, first-team coach Paul Clement, head of performance Chris Jones and goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly.
Lampard led Chelsea in his previous managerial assignment
The general consensus is that Lampard was too quick to accept the manager’s role at Chelsea although it was an offer too good to refuse. The former England midfield maestro took charge of the Blues during a period when they were hit by a transfer ban and were also lacking quality players in the squad.
Thanks to the 43-year-old, Chelsea saw so many of their young talents get a chance in the first team.
It was quite an achievement for Lampard to guide the Blues to a top-four finish in his first season at the club despite the odds. The Englishman was eventually sacked midway through the next season but he still did a commendable job at Stamford Bridge.
Everton represents the perfect opportunity for Lampard to showcase his management skills and resurrect his career as a manager.
