“I don’t see him getting another job”- Pundit makes worrying claim for Frank Lampard after Chelsea stint ends

Darren Bent claims Frank Lampard will struggle to find a new job after Chelsea role

Former Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent has stated that he does not see Frank Lampard getting another job after his interim stint with Chelsea ends.

Lampard was named Chelsea’s new manager on an interim basis, as the Blues needed time to locate an ideal permanent head coach after Graham Potter was fired.

The club had a few possibilities, and following preliminary conversations with Julian Nagelsmann, it thought he would be appointed Chelsea’s new manager, but the former Bayern Munich manager was pulled out of the running.

And another candidate, Mauricio Pochettino, led productive talks and has agreed personal terms to become Chelsea’s new coach for the coming season.

Meanwhile, the former Blues midfielder’s second stint as their coach has not gone well, with six defeats in eight Premier League games.

And now Bent fears that Lampard might not get another job once his time at Chelsea culminates, as he told talkSPORT Drive:

“I can’t see him [Lampard] getting another job. He’s managed eight Premier League games and lost six; it’s appalling. He’s managed ten in all competitions and lost eight.”

In all honesty, we cannot be sure. Over the years, we have seen many managers who have had embarrassing spells with clubs, but they have been appointed because they have that managerial experience. Not to mention, Lampard has a huge reputation as a player, which always helps.

Lampard is new to this position, having previously coached Derby County, Everton, and Chelsea twice. He did a good job at Chelsea in his first season, giving youth players opportunities during a time when we had a transfer ban. Not to mention, Everton weren’t relegated in his first season in charge.

We can’t fault him for the second season at Goodison Park, given that the Toffees sold crucial players like Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin was injured for the majority of the period.

In his second stint at Chelsea, he inherited a fractured side. We were already a team overloaded with new faces and broken confidence – any other manager would have struggled here as well.

He is, nevertheless, a competent coach, and perhaps he should manage a less competitive team where he can get more coaching experience before taking over a big club.
