Man Utd great Roy Keane gives brutal verdict on Chelsea and Frank Lampard's Champions League chances

14.04.2023 - 10:09 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes that Frank Lampard's appointment at Chelsea until the end of the season will not solve the club's problems.

Earlier this month, Chelsea announced that they had sacked Graham Potter as their manager after a poor season which currently sees them sit in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Last Thursday, Lampard was reappointed as interim boss of the Blues until the end of the season while owner Todd Boehly continues his search for a permanent replacement for Potter.

Lampard's first game back as manager ended in defeat last weekend at Wolverhampton Wanderers before taking his team to Real Madrid where they lost 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
