The former midfielder replaced Rafa Benitez who was sacked in January following disappointing results.The English manager encountered a woeful start to life at Goodison Park, unable to take them up the table with the side sitting in 16th. A 6-0 thrashing at Tottenham Hotspur on March 6 even had many touting Lampard to get sacked.Things looked ominous for the former Chelsea captain when Everton plummeted into 18th place in April. But the Toffees have shown improvement in the dying embers of the Premier League season.Two impressive victories over Chelsea and Manchester United put the Merseyside outfit in good stead.They have now confirmed their survival in the most dramatic of circumstances, with Lampard able to breathe a sigh of relief.It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Toffees under Frank Lampard with all eyes on the upcoming summer transfer window.
