Marcelo Bielsa could make a return to the Premier League at Everton after Frank Lampard was sacked with the team immersed in another relegation struggle.

The 67-year-old Argentinian coach has been out of work since his dismissal by Leeds last February and is being considered by Everton’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, for the task of saving the club’s Premier League status. The former Burnley manager Sean Dyche is another available option and Ralph Hasenhüttl has admirers at Everton. The former Southampton manager was of interest when Rafael Benítez was sacked last January.
