Chelsea were in no hurry to determine their future direction after sacking Porter, bringing back former manager Frank Lampard and signing a temporary contract until the end of the season. The signing was a gamble. Frank Lampard traded his nine-game contract for a chance to return to the top coaching scene, with Bo using the short-term contract to fight the Blues' almost slim prospect of this season. In short, almost from the moment Frank Lampard's return was announced, few believed it was a moment of redemption for the Blues, only that the abyss was far from bottoming.
Sure enough, the Blues failed to secure a win on Frank Lampard's return debut. For a coach who has only 9 games to prove himself, any game is a life and death battle. But the magic lamp has never been a person who has seen miracles at the bottom, and he seems to be even more unconfident compared to his predecessors.
Tuchel will not say anything, the Blues fired him in the first place, and how much he regrets it now, I am afraid that the hard-mouthed Burley does not want to admit it. Tuchel's achievements in Borussia Dortmund and Paris are clear for all, leading the Blues to beat Manchester City to the Champions League in their first season, so why do you sack him?
What about Potter? Repeatedly looked down upon by Blues fans, although people started small, they also really did a brilliant job at their level, so that they had the opportunity to sell themselves to Burleigh and become a big manager.
Only Frank Lampard, who was able to become Blues manager solely because of his DNA identity, is a title for the Blues. He has never gained anything in the coaching circle, but he stands on such a platform.
According to The Sun, Burley's invitation to return Frank Lampard had nothing to do with the club's future plans and was advice given to him by his American talk show star friend James Corden. It's unheard of for an entertainment star to make decisions for the club's top brass.
All in all, Lampard is quite embarrassed now. His previous coaching resume has shown that he is not a top coach, which is probably the level of a Championship coach. Now that he has signed this gambling contract, he wants to rely on these games to change his life against the sky, I am afraid it can only be a fool's dream.
