England 's

Everton

, a team that navigates in the last places of the Premier League, fired

Frank Lampard

as its coach and has already started looking for a successor to improve the face of the team and not jeopardize its stay in the top flight of the english football.

After 20 dates, the Toffees occupy the penultimate position of the table.

With only 15 points -product of 3 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses-

they are only above Southampton, who have the same points, but less goal difference.

According to information from the English media,

Lampard would have had a heated discussion in the locker room and this situation, added to the alarming lack of results, would have been the trigger for his dismissal.

The former Chelsea player closed his cycle at Everton with a total of

44 games under his belt.

His numbers were not good at all, since he won 12 times, drew 8 and lost in the remaining 24 games.

Given this situation in which the team finds itself, Loco Bielsa appears as one of the main alternatives to overcome the team's league position and not have to deal with a situation as tough as relegation.

Bielsa's last experience was precisely

in the Premier League managing Leeds United, a team where he managed for three and a half years.

During his process he managed to return the team to the top flight of English football after 16 years.

El Loco took over as coach of the Whites in July 2018 and remained until February 2022. During his entire cycle he directed a total of 170 games divided between the Championship, the Premier League and the different English cups.

His numbers were more than positive.

Of the 170 games that he was in charge of the team, he won 81 games, tied in 30 and lost in the remaining 59.

Translated into percentages, the former coach of the Argentine National Team managed to win 53% of the points played.
