Chelsea set to designate Thomas Tuchel as head coach after Frank Lampard firing


Not exactly gone to plan, has it? Haha.. But no, Frank, get out!

Frank Lampard has been sacked as manager of Chelsea after a meeting with the club hierarchy on Monday morning.

Reports early on Monday had suggested that Lampard sacking was imminent, with the club playing squad told to remain at home in the morning and to arrive for training in the afternoon. Those reports proved to be correct, with Lampard relieved of his duties earlier today.

Former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel is in line to replace him.

Roman Abramovich releases heartfelt statement on Frank Lampard sacking Roman Abramovich releases heartfelt statement on Frank Lampard sacking.

Club Statement on Frank Lampard

This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have taken lightly. We are grateful to Frank for what he has achieved in his time as Head Coach of the Club.

However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.

There can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend such as Frank, but after lengthy deliberation and consideration it was decided a change is needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.

Roman Abramovich comment

Roman Abramovich said, “This was a very difficult decision for the Club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him.

“He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, the Board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as Head Coach and wish him every success in the future.

He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge.”

The Club will be making no further comment until such time as a new Head Coach is appointed.

What is more?

Lampard, a Stamford Bridge legend during his playing days, was handed the Chelsea job after a solitary season of management, during which he took Derby County from a sixth placed finish during the 2017/18 season to a sixth placed finish at the end of the 2018/19 season.

They would go on to lose to Aston Villa in the play-off final.

He departs the club having managed 84 competitive matches, with the worst points-per-game ratio of any manager during Roman Abramovich 17-year spell as owner of the club.

That points-per-game ratio is just 1.67, below Andre-Villas Boas having presided over more than twice as many games.
