Terry could join new boss Frank at the Rams

FRANK Lampard refused to rule out a move for old Chelsea team-mate John Terry after he was appointed Derby manager.

The 39-year-old former City midfielder has joined the Rams on a three-year deal to start his management career.

Terry, who won three Premier League titles with Lampard at Chelsea, is available after confirming he will leave Aston Villa this summer.

His contract expired at Villa Park after their 1-0 Championship play-off final defeat to Fulham.

But, while Lampard refused to commit, he remained coy over the possibility of a reunion with Terry.

He said: “I haven’t spoken to John, I got a message this morning. At the moment he’s in Greece on holiday. There are conversations ongoing across the board, that isn’t one of them. These conversations start now. John’s had a great career but we’ll concentrate on what we want to do here.”

MARCO Silva has been appointed the new manager of Everton.

The former Hull and Watford boss succeeds Sam Allardyce, who left Goodison Park earlier this month after an unpopular five-and-a-half-month spell.

Everton tried to secure Silva’s services following the sacking of Ronald Koeman last October but Watford rebuffed their advances, only to axe the 40-year-old two months later, citing the Toffees’ approach as the reason for a slump in form.
