Frank Lampard was dismissed from the Everton bench due to poor results

Marcelo Bielsa has reportedly received an offer to return to the English top flight, but the Argentinian is not convinced by the club's project and its position in the table, so he has rejected his arrival this season. Frank Lampard was dismissed from the Everton bench due to poor results in the Premier League. The main candidate to join the 'Toffees' was Marcelo Bielsa. However, the rosarino would not see with good eyes to take the team in the middle of the season and the project caused the DT's rejection to return to England.

According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, Bielsa has reportedly had meetings with the club's directors about his arrival in the city of Liverpool. Despite the temptation of returning to the Premier League, the 'Loco' would not be very convinced to start a process at this stage of the season. "The Argentine has serious reservations about taking charge at Goodison Park in a development that comes as a major blow to Everton's hopes," the English outlet said.
