Speculation over Lampard’s position at Chelsea continues

There remains speculation over Frank Lampard’s position in the light of Chelsea’s poor recent run.

The Blues have lost four of their past six matches, prompting reports that Lampard could be replaced as manager.


Some reports have declared that Chelsea are looking at possible successors to Lampard and that he is close to being sacked.

However, the Daily Telegraph reports that the club have no firm plan in place for changing the manager and that Lampard will be given time to turn things around.

The Independent run a somewhat similar story, also suggesting that Lampard will be given more time.

But the Independent also report that Thomas Tuchel, Max Allegri, Brendan Rodgers and Ralph Hasenhuttl are considered to be the main options if Lampard loses his job.

The Sun, meanwhile, declare that former Paris St-Germain boss Tuchel has been lined up to replace Lampard if results do not improve.
