"It is a possibility" - Journalist says Everton could replace Frank Lampard after report emerges

Everton could replace Frank Lampard with Rennes boss Bruno Genesio if things don’t start to improve soon, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Lampard has only been at Goodison Park for two months, but there are already doubts about his future at the club.

Having replaced Rafael Benitez in the dugout at the end of January, Lampard has found it difficult to get consistent performances out of his team.

The Toffees have lost five of their seven league matches under his stewardship, while they were also thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals just before the international break.

With Everton just three points above the relegation zone, it appears that the club are keeping an eye on potential replacements for Lampard, and it has been reported that they are interested in Genesio.

The 55-year-old Frenchman has guided Rennes to third in Ligue 1 this term, and they are just a point behind second-placed Marseille.

O’Rourke has admitted that Lampard’s time in charge has been underwhelming so far, and he has suggested that Everton could look to bring in Genesio in the future.

When asked about the chances of Lampard being replaced by Genesio, O’Rourke told GIVEMESPORT: “It is a possibility. We all know that it hasn’t gone as well as probably Frank Lampard imagined it would at Everton, really disappointing away form, some of the performances haven’t been good enough as well.”

Two months is a short period of time, and it needs to be remembered that Lampard inherited a squad drained of confidence back in January.

There have been some promising signs in their home games, with the team picking up a 1-0 win against Newcastle
