Frank Lampard’s love for Chelsea isn’t the main motivating factor behind his decision to accept the Chelsea interim manager role, according to former England teammate Darren Bent.
Bent told talkSPORT: “I fully understand and respect why Frank would do that (go back). He left Everton and people were saying he’s rubbish, he’s not a good coach, this that and the other.
“He himself is a proud man, I played with him for England. He thinks if he can go to Chelsea and have a really good end to the season someone else will pick me up.
“At the end of this season there could be as many as seven jobs available. He’s going to be in the mix for one of them.”
Chelsea are currently 11th in the Premier League but could still end the season with unlikely silverware in Europe should they go all the way in the Champions League, which would leave Todd Bohely in a potentially awkward position.
Bent added: “That’s a question Todd Boehly has to answer (if Lampard does well). That’s why sometimes interims backfire because in one respect you think fantastic, he’s won us the Champions League, won us all these games got us to finish in the table very, very well. What do you do now?”
Bent, he was actually a colossal failure at Everton as well as Chelsea..list to say. I be in charge of any club, I won’t give him no chance at all. We must put sentiment aside and judge with fairness. Lamp, has been a good coach except at Derby, maybe championship is the best place for him to blossom, getting and acquiring knowledge of the game deeply. Haven watch his team and their setup, I know that Lamps team always lack plans that win games. Technically and Tactically, zero. He plays every game with the same plan and setup, every good coach has the ability to working out their game plans for every game. As they said, different medicine for different symptoms.. Lamps has to put up a thinking faculty, which read you games and gives you idea on how to get your way out of any difficulty. Best of luck, Lamp. You’ve the chance to redeem yourself with good players. No more excuses..
