Reports indicate that Frank Lampard may make a swift return to professional football management, less than a year after his challenging stint as the interim manager at Chelsea. Recent sources suggest that he is a potential candidate to step into the managerial role vacated by Nigel Pearson at Bristol City.
Pearson’s departure occurred only five days ago, and while numerous names are under consideration for the job, Lampard has emerged as one of the frontrunners. His time as Chelsea’s interim manager, during which he managed to secure just one victory in 11 games following Graham Potter’s dismissal, raised doubts about his managerial abilities. Nevertheless, Bristol City seems to be considering him seriously.
The Robins have experienced a lackluster start to the season, having won only five of their initial 14 Championship matches. This unimpressive performance likely contributed to Pearson’s dismissal and the subsequent search for a new manager. Lampard’s potential appointment, despite his difficulties at Chelsea, underscores the ongoing fascination with his managerial potential and the willingness of clubs to offer him another opportunity to prove himself in the world of football management.
