Everton Football Club have confirmed the appointment of Frank Lampard as the Club\u2019s new manager, many hours after British media reported it.<\/p>\n

The club said the former England midfielder has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract \u2013 until June 2024.<\/p>\n

He will take charge of the First Team for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brentford at Goodison Park on Saturday 5 February.<\/p>\n

According to the club, the appointment of Lampard<\/a> comes after a robust recruitment process with several candidates being interviewed by the Club\u2019s majority shareholder and Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

Lampard started management with Derby County in 2018, leading the Rams to the final of that season\u2019s Championship play-offs.<\/p>\n

He was appointed head coach at former club Chelsea the following year and, helping develop many of the club\u2019s young talents, guided the Londoners to fourth place in the Premier League and the FA Cup final in his first season in charge.<\/p>\n

The new Everton manager will be supported by a vastly experienced and talented backroom team made up of Joe Edwards as his Assistant Manager, Paul Clement as First Team Coach and Chris Jones as First Team Coach and Head of Performance.<\/p>\n

Lampard said: \u201cIt is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club. I\u2019m very hungry to get started. After speaking to the owner, Chairman and the Board, I very much felt their passion and ambition. I hope they felt my ambition and how hard I want to work to bring it together.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can feel the passion Everton fans have for their club. That will be hugely important. As a team \u2013 the competitive level that the Premier League brings and the position we are in the table \u2013 we certainly need that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a two-way thing. I think Everton is a unique club in that you can really understand what the fans want to see. The first thing they want is fight and desire and that must always be our baseline.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We\u2019ll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of English football\u2019s most decorated footballers, Lampard won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, the Champions League and Europa League, while earning 106 caps for his country in a glittering playing career.<\/p>\n

Everton Majority Shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, said: \u201cI am really delighted that Frank has joined us. He is an impressive young man on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has played at the very highest level of the game and has football in his blood. He impressed us all greatly during the thorough interview process and we\u2019re all ready to give him all of our support as he looks to give the team an immediate boost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright said: \u201cFrank impressed us greatly throughout our process, coming across as a modern, ambitious and exciting young manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe expressed a clear vision on how he wants to take the club forward and, importantly, a tremendous passion and genuine enthusiasm to join us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure Evertonians will give him the special welcome that only they can and will be looking forward to giving him and his coaching staff a warm Goodison welcome next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
