Next Everton manager odds as Wayne Rooney tipped to replace Frank Lampard

Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney is currently priced as the third favorite to take over as manager at Everton.

The 37-year-old, who left the UK to become the DC United manager in July of last year, has taken charge of just 14 games for the MLS outfit so far.

Everton boss Frank Lampard has been relived of his duties at Goodison Park, with the club having announced his departure on Monday afternoon. The Toffees narrowly avoided relegation last season and are 19th this term with 15 points from 20 matches.

Former Burnley manager Sean Dyche leads the betting as the favorite to takeover from Lampard should he be dismissed, with odds of 7/4 given by SkyBet for the 51-year-old to take over before January 31. Marcelo Bielsa is shortly behind Dyche priced at 3/1. Rooney is currently 5/1.

Rooney enjoyed something of a strong spell with Derby County before his move to the US, taking charge of 84 games in total, during his time as both the club's caretaker and permanent head coach.

Averaging 1.14 points-per-match with Derby amid off-field troubles, Rooney was well taken to by the Rams supporters, so much so some believed he would lead the club again this season in League One. Having moved management following his retirement in January 2021, Rooney remains United's leading goalscorer with 253 strikes to his name.
