(Reuters) - Portuguese manager Vitor Pereira said he still wants to take charge of Everton following the sacking of Rafa Benitez, despite a backlash from some supporters over his potential appointment and reports Frank Lampard is also in the hunt.

Everton dismissed Benitez this month with the club 16th in the Premier League with Pereira among the favourites to take over, although British media reported former Chelsea boss Lampard was also in contention.

"This is the first time in my career I've seen these types of things," Pereira told Sky Sports."I've never had these kind of comments about me. My CV speaks for itself. It's the environment now because the club isn't in a good position. "In this moment, what a manager should do is bring again this positive passion for the supporters. I don't take this as a personal attack."
