Chelsea has named Their former player and manager in the person of Frank Lampard as the interim manager till the end of the season. But what I don't know is if that decision will yield a good result for the London club.
Lampard undoubtedly is good manager but I still think he's still an average Manager that's not up to the standard of Chelsea as a club.
Lampard is a legendary player in Chelsea and he holds an all time record as a best scorer for the club. He will surely get respect from Chelsea players and it is more safely choice of Chelsea than appointing young coaches like Nagelsman. It can be helpful for Chelsea in just few remaining months and matches of the season. Chelsea also need time to deeply think of their plans before can filter available coaches and pick one for a next season.
They have a UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against a big team like Real Madrid and with the current happenings in the club I doubt that Lampard can come in and have a great effect on the team
I am doubtful that this temporary appointment can help Chelsea in matches with Real Madrid. Firstly Lampard did not manage his clubs well so far in his coach career. Secondly Real Madrid have very good performances recent weeks and they just destroyed Barcelona 4 - 0 in Coppa del Rey. Benzema and Vinicius will be able to break Chelsea defense and score goals for Real. Rodrygo is playing well and more matured in this season. He together with Vinicius can give very good support for Benzema at center of their attacking system.
When I heard the name Frank Lampard I thought there was something in the past already! Of course it was, he used to be the coach from 2019 till 2021 for Chelsea already. I know he was good as a player, in fact he was the most dangerous midfielder the Premier League has ever seen in terms of goals scored. That is a big achievement for a midfielder. He scored 211 goals in all competitions. That is quite the number and it is even a number that a lot of strikers don't achieve. The best part about it is that he scored many of those goals from outside the box. He was a genius shooter.
As a coach now it remains to be seen. Maybe he has developed himself and grown up in the two years, but he didn't do so well at Everton either. The club now wants to see what happens and then decide, but I believe that they would prefer some well experienced professional coach. But who would be willing to take that job?
