Frank Lampard Sacked, See The New World-Class Coach To Replace Him.

Chelsea Football Club has announced its decision to sack the head coach of the team and former legend of the club, Frank Lampard on Monday after his 18 month stay at the Stamford Bridge.
This was announced by the Governing body of the club headed by the club’s President, Roman Abromavic.
Abromavic said the decision would not affect the fact that Lampard will forever remain an unforgettable icon of the club, and they would forever be grateful to his contribution to the club both as a player and as a coach.
Frank Lampard was sacked from his role as Chelsea manager following his poor performance in recent games as he lost 5 games in the last eight matches his side played.
He will be replaced by former Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel.
It was gathered that a verbal agreement has been in place between Chelsea and Tuchel, their incoming manager for a couple of days before the news of Lampard’s departure became public.
It came just 24 hours after Lampard led Chelsea to a 3-1 win over Luton Town in the FA Cup but the club’s Premier League form has led to growing concerns.
The 42-year-old achieved a top-four finish last season, which was deemed impressive having taken over when the club were under a transfer ban.
However, this season Chelsea spent £220 million ($275m) on new signings to try and close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City.
It has not worked with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz suffering prolonged periods of poor form under their new manager while Chelsea’s performances as a team were increasingly getting worse.
Chelsea have only beaten West Ham of the top 11 clubs this season while picking up the second-lowest number of points at this stage of a season since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003.
Lampard earned 1.67 points per match in the league, which is the lowest of any manager appointed since Abramovich bought Chelsea.

Tuchel, who has been angling himself for the role, could be the right man to get the most out of both Werner and Havertz as well as Christian Pulisic who was brought through Dortmund’s academy.
Lampard previously managed Derby County after retiring from a glorious playing career that saw him win the Champions League and three Premier League titles.
