Chelsea will not stop duo Joe Edwards and Anthony Barry joining Lampard at Everton
Chelsea will not come in the way of Joe Edwards and Anthony Barry joining Frank Lampard at Everton, according to The Telegraph.
This is a major boost for the Englishman as he worked a great working understanding with them during his time at Stamford Bridge.
However, after his sacking, they stayed put at the club but could be in line for an exit.
Obviously, the Toffees will need to compensate the Londoners for the English duo but it will be a coup for Lampard.
They know his tactics inside out and would help him implement them to the best of his abilities at Goodison Park.
On Saturday, the same aforementioned publication reported that Lampard was officially offered the job.
The process went through plenty of twists and turns and the ex Chelsea boss even seemed out of the running at one point.
However, he seems to have interviewed well and has now got the job ahead of some more experienced candidates.
Robert Martinez could have been the manager but the Belgian FA did not appoint him.
Vitor Pereira was also in the mix, but there was fan disgruntlement surrounding him.
Goodison favourite Duncan Ferguson also interviewed and it remains to be seen whether he stays on at the club after Lampard’s arrival.
