Everton have cleaned out Frank Lampard's backroom team after his dismissal on Monday.

Everton are now looking for their sixth permanent manager in five years.

The club thanked Lampard and his coaching staff "for their service during what has been a challenging 12 months".

"Frank and his team's commitment and dedication have been exemplary throughout their time at the club, but recent results and the current league position meant this difficult decision had to be taken," said a club statement.

Coaches Joe Edwards, Paul Clement, Ashley Cole and Chris Jones have also left Everton, but Alan Kelly stays on as goalkeeping coach.

Everton said they had "started the process to secure a new manager".

Former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is on the list of candidates under discussion as a potential successor to Lampard.

The 67-year-old Argentine, who is admired by Everton owner Farhad Moshiri, has not worked since being sacked by Leeds in February last year, although he remains a hero at Elland Road for taking the club back into the Premier League.
