Chelsea Interim Boss Lampard 'Improved' By Everton Experience

07.04.2023 - 18:47 sports.ndtv.com

Frank Lampard says his turbulent spell in charge of Everton made him a better manager as he prepares to return to the dugout for his second spell as Chelsea boss.

Lampard, Chelsea's record goalscorer, managed the Stamford Bridge club from July 2019 until January 2021, when he was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

The 44-year-old's unexpected return to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager until the end of the season came after Graham Potter was dismissed on Sunday, with the club in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Lampard lost his job as boss of struggling Everton in January after saving them from relegation last season but he said he had learned lessons from his 12 months at Goodison Park. "I've definitely changed (since the first spell at Chelsea)," he said ahead of the team's match at Wolves on Saturday. "I took some things that I changed on to Everton. "You 'evolve' is probably a better word.

'The club will be back' - Frank Lampard adamant Chelsea will rise again

Frank Lampard promised that Chelsea will be back after Real Madrid effectively ended a dismal season for his side with a 2-0 win to eliminate them from the Champions League. Lampard's team fell to two goals from Real forward Rodrygo to exit the tournament at the quarter-final stage, thus relinquishing their last faint hopes of qualifying again next year. Chelsea, in 11th place in the Premier League, face the prospect of a first season without European competition since 2016/17, and against Real over two legs looked a shadow of the team that were crowned European champions less than two years ago. Chelsea threatened either side of half-time with glorious chances for Marc Cucurella, who saw his close-range effort from Reece James' cross beaten away by Thibaut Courtois, and N'Golo Kante whose shot was blocked by Eder Militao. Those opportunities could potentially have turned momentum and the tie in Chelsea's favour, but across the game Lampard's team did not show enough cohesion in their attacks nor discipline in defence to match the European champions and threaten their reign.
