Frank Lampard’s second stint as Chelsea manager has not gone as planned, and there is growing speculation that he could be facing the sack once again. The Blues have had a poor start to the season, and their recent exit from the Champions League has only added to the pressure on the former England midfielder.
After a promising start to the campaign, Chelsea have hit a rough patch, losing three of their last four games in the Premier League.
However, it is their exit from the Champions League that could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for Lampard. Despite a valiant effort in the quarter-finals against Real Madrid, Chelsea were ultimately outclassed over the two legs and crashed out of the competition.
There are several reasons why Lampard’s job could be on the line. For one, the expectations at Chelsea are always high, and the club’s owner, Todd Boehly is not known for his patience with underperforming managers. Additionally, there are questions about Lampard’s tactical nous and his ability to get the best out of his players.
There are also concerns about the team’s form, with several key players struggling for consistency. Timo Werner, in particular, has been a major disappointment since his big-money move from RB Leipzig, while Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic have also failed to deliver consistently.
