Lampard, Ferguson and Pereira face final interviews for Everton job

Farhad Moshiri due in London on Friday to meet candidates
Squad set to be strengthened before Monday’s transfer deadline

Frank Lampard, Vítor Pereira and Duncan Ferguson will have their chance to land the Everton manager’s job on Friday when the club conduct a final round of interviews with the candidates to succeed Rafael Benítez.

Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s majority shareholder, is expected to travel from his home in Monaco to hold the interviews in London alongside members of the board. The intention is to arrive quickly at a decision, albeit 12 days after Benítez was sacked, in order to strengthen the new manager’s squad before Monday’s transfer deadline.
