Long time Liverpool boss, Rafael Benitez, caused mumblings when he became Everton’s manager for the 2021/22 season after Carlo Ancelotti resigned to return to Real Madrid, and would go on to lead one of their worst Premier League campaigns in history.
A very promising start with only 1 loss in 7 games turned into a nightmare, as Everton went on to win just 4 of the next 25 games. Benitez was sacked, and Duncan Ferguson stepped in for a few weeks until Frank Lampard took the position.
The team flirted with relegation for most of the second half of the season, finishing safe but stunned in 16th place, tumbled out of the EFL Cup in the 3rd Round to QPR, and were hammered 4-0 by Crystal Palace in the Quarter finals of the FA Cup. They did win a trophy this year, but it was the Florida Cup, which no one has ever heard of.
