Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts on Frank Lampard being named Everton’s new manager.
The Blues have appointed Lampard as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract to replace the sacked Rafa Benitez.
Lampard had been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in January 2021 with the club ninth in the Premier League.
Prior to his 18-month spell at Chelsea, the former England international spent a season at Derby County, which ended in defeat to Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final.

And reacting to the appointment on the social media site, Lineker wrote: “Wish him well. Great club, great guy.”
Lampard, speaking following his appointment, said: "It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club.
"I'm 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.
"You can feel the passion Everton fans have for their club. That will be hugely important. As a team - the competitive level that the Premier League brings and the position we are in the table - we certainly need that. It's 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.
"My first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We'll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us."
