New Everton manager Frank Lampard has stated that he wants to make positive impact with his new side.
Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has stated that he wants to make positive impact in the Everton side.
Lampard has been appointed finally to replace former head coach Rafael Benitez at the club.
While speaking with the media Lampard said: “We are considering that. When you look at the squad, we have some areas where there are injuries.
“I want to make a positive impact and if bringing in players helps that, then we’ll try to do it in a very joined-up way.
“In terms of my idea on the squad, I’ve seen things from the outside that will be my priorities to try to improve – firstly, to get results, but also to try to improve confidence and the way we play and to engage with the fans.”
Lampard added: “The talks with the owner and chairman and board were very positive and their passion and ambition shone through.
“You expect a meticulous process with a club the size of Everton and I hope they felt my ambition and how hard I want to work to bring it together. I will do the job with all my heart and passion.
“The backing and open communication from the owner and chairman and board is a big deal. The most important thing to focus on is the short-term.
“We know the new stadium is coming and where this club wants to be but, first and foremost, there are challenges in front of us right now.
“The league position – and an FA Cup game at the weekend. I want to get to work very quickly on that, to deal with the short-term.
“And, of course, in the back of our minds is the long-term vision of the club. I am very open with the way I work. That runs deeper and further than the owner and board and myself.
“It runs through staff and players and, first and foremost, the fans, because they are the football club.
“I will always try to be open and communicate and show the fans exactly how I hard I will work – and we will do everything possible to achieve those long-term visions.”
