The Toffees boss departs after just shy of a year in the hot seat. Everton languish 19th in the Premier League table and the decision has been made to part ways with Lampard in a bid to stave off relegation.
It means that the Blues are now looking for their eighth permanent manager of the Farhad Moshiri era.
Everton fans will likely want to see a swift appointment and supporters will have their opinions on who they’d like to see next in the driving seat.
Director of football Kevin Thelwell will likely have compiled dossiers of potential candidates.
Here’s a look at the current favourites to land the role, according to Sky Bet (odds correct at time of publication).

2. Carlos Corberan - 20/1
The Spaniard has taken West Brom from the foot of the table to the promotion mix after being appointed only in October. However, he may not be prepared to leave the Baggies so soon.
3. David Moyes - 20/1
A win against his former club proved the final nail in the coffin for Lampard. Moyes’ West Ham have been misfiring this season but he says he has the backing of the board. The Scot, of course, spend 11 years as Everton manager and remains highly respected.
4. Thomas Frank - 16/1
