Legend Frank Lampard with new challenge at Chelsea

The specific contract has not been revealed, but according to the British press, the former Derby County coach will have a 2-year trial with Chelsea to fight on all fronts.

Frank Lampard has only been in his coaching career for one season but has already made a strong impression when he and the English First Division club, Derby County, entered the Play-off final to play in the Premier League. Although they lost to Aston Villa, the coaching style and strong personality of this handsome midfielder are always highly appreciated.

Because of this, the Russian owner - Abramovich personally directed the Chelsea Board of Directors to negotiate with Derby Club to bring the former player back to Stamford Bridge as a coach.

As a player, Lampard spent 13 years in Chelsea's shirt, playing 648 matches, along with countless assists for his teammates to score. In addition, the player born in 1979 also won countless titles with Chelsea such as 1 Champions League title, 1 Europa League title, 3 Premier League titles... Until now, Frank Lampard is still the player who scored the most goals for Chelsea with 211 goals in all competitions. That's why Lampard is considered a legend of Chelsea.

With coach Sarri, although he has been at Chelsea for 1 year, he has left many impressions, the most prominent of which is bringing The Blues to become Europa League champions, finishing 3rd in the Premier League, reaching the final of the English League Cup. However, the Italian strategist's football philosophy is not suitable for a team like Chelsea and above all, he is not popular with the fans here.

The Russian boss wanted Chelsea to have a liberal, diverse playing style and above all, have someone who controlled the dressing room, something that coach Sarri could not do. That is why the former Napoli coach was allowed to leave, Juventus was the club that compensated the remaining part of the contract for the London team with the amount of 7 million pounds to have this coach.

On the other hand, Chelsea only spent 4 million pounds to bring coach Lampard to Stamford Bridge as compensation for the remaining 2 years of Lampard's contract with Derby. Leading a big team like Chelsea is the dream of many coaches. But the reality shows that working at Chelsea will be under a lot of pressure, there have been many coaches who had to leave Chelsea because of the team's poor performance.

Coach Frank Lampard came to Chelsea in the context that the club was under a Fifa ban on the transfer market, because of breaking the law on signing players under 16 years old. Only selling without being able to buy will be a difficult thing for the new Chelsea coach in reforming and upgrading the squad.

When the number 1 star and main striker Eden Hazard just left Chelsea to play for Real. That is why Lampard has the right to recall all the players under Chelsea's management who are on loan at other clubs to strengthen the squad and stabilize the squad for the new season.

In addition to the old man Lampard becoming Chelsea coach, another veteran also returned to his old home, "wild elephant" Didier Drogba, coming to Chelsea as assistant coach, Shay Given as goalkeeper coach, and Petr Cech as technical director.

It is too early to confirm Lampard's success in leading Chelsea when the difficulties are piling up ahead. But with the qualities of a great player, a passionate and charismatic coach, Chelsea fans believe that Chelsea legend - Frank Lampard will be a successful coach in the future.
