Chelsea have offered Frank Lampard a short-term contract to keep him in charge for the season. This decision looks like a temporary intention, without planning. Even many Blues fans joked that since it is a firefighting, you can't carry an oil drum.
Indeed, judging from Frank Lampard's previous coaching resume at both ends, he may not be a top coach material. He became the Blues manager solely because of the prestige and position he earned at the club as a player. But at the end of the day, for the club to produce results, even if you are a team name, you can't make a joke. If you don't have enough ability, you have to leave class, everyone is the same. The firefighting contract is not so much Lampard's last chance to stay in the top coaching circle as a transitional means for Burley.
In fact, for Chelsea at the moment, they can find a manager in the market that meets their requirements. Conte, who once managed the Blues, has just left Spurs and is currently sitting home. With Conte's qualifications, returning to Stamford Bridge is a hundred times stronger than Frank Lampard.
Conte is very good at the 3-4-3 system and now Chelsea's squad fits these tactical characteristics. Two wing-backs, Ben Chilwell and Reece James, plus a group of young players and veterans in midfield, as well as young talent up front, all meet Conte's staffing needs. With Conte's ability, I believe he can also fully pinch these players together.
It is also very important to note that Conte activated Romelu Lukaku when he was at Inter. Romelu Lukaku will return to Stamford Bridge after his loan spell expires this summer, and if Conte can take charge of the Blues, Romelu Lukaku's return will bring a top centre forward to the Blues, not in vain the amount of money spent to bring him in.
Of course, Conte is not omnipotent. He has a poor cup record and is always less comfortable coping with more than a week. Beyond that, his personality issues are perhaps the biggest reason he was left out of the Blues' list of manager candidates. Conte is tough on the management of the dressing room and his attitude towards the top, which may be difficult for Burley to accept. Every time he leaves a team, it is bound to be accompanied by such problems, which make the Chelsea hierarchy have to worry.
