Frank Lampard, the former Chelsea manager and the club’s all-time leading scorer, recently expressed his support and belief in Mauricio Pochettino’s capabilities as the current manager of the struggling Chelsea football team. Pochettino took over from Lampard as the manager earlier this year. Despite Chelsea’s challenging start to the season, Lampard emphasized the need for patience and time for Pochettino to make an impact and turn things around for the club.
Lampard acknowledged the difficult start to the season that Chelsea had faced under Pochettino’s management, with only one Premier League win in their first six matches. However, Lampard stressed the importance of considering Pochettino’s past achievements and coaching record, indicating that he is the right man for the job and should be given the opportunity to prove himself.
Having been in a similar position as the Chelsea caretaker manager in the past, Lampard understands the challenges that come with such a role. He believes that changing managers again so soon would not be the ideal solution for the club. Lampard mentioned that Pochettino needs time to implement his strategies and address any concerns within the team.
One positive aspect that Lampard pointed out was the team’s ability to create goal-scoring opportunities, even in the absence of key offensive midfielder Christopher Nkunku. Despite the early struggles, Lampard expressed confidence that Pochettino would bring about improvements and guide Chelsea back to a successful path.
Reflecting on his own experiences during his second spell at Chelsea, Lampard acknowledged that certain issues couldn’t be resolved overnight. He highlighted the complexity of the situation and stressed the need for patience and perseverance to overcome the challenges faced by the club.
