EXCLUSIVE: Marcelo Bielsa is Everton's No 1 choice to replace Frank Lampard after his sacking, with the Toffees hoping ex-Leeds and Argentina boss can repeat the magic that revitalised Elland Road

Everton are seriously considering turning to Marcelo Bielsa, with the former Leeds United manager their favoured choice to replace Frank Lampard.

Toffees majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri sacked Lampard in a phone call today and the club now hope Bielsa can revive the mood around Goodison Park in the same way he did with Leeds.

Argentine coach Bielsa, 67, rescued Leeds from a 16-year absence from the Premier League, working his magic to revitalise the club and take them to promotion within two seasons in charge.
