Lampard has taken over the role of Everton manager following the departure of Rafa Benitez and will be in charge of his first game later on Saturday.

This is Lampard’s second job in England, having been sacked as Chelsea manager nearly a year ago.

Everton will face Brentford in the fourth round of the FA Cup, a competition Lampard won four times as a player.

Geremi, Lampard’s former teammate, believes just because he was sacked by Chelsea does not mean he doesn’t have the qualities to be a manager.

Frank Lampard will look to unlock Everton’s true potential

After a bright start under Benitez, Everton’s drop in form was alarming. Eventually, the Spaniard paid the price for failing to turn things around.

The Toffees have been in disarray of late and will need Frank Lampard to guide them in the right direction.

They have a good enough squad to challenge for a place in the top ten at least. But Frank Lampard’s immediate task will be to instill some confidence in the squad.

A cup run at the expense of Brentford would be a good start.
