London - Sana
Chelsea FC announced the dismissal of coach Frank Lampard after a series of poor team results.
The club said in a statement on its official website that it had taken a decision to dismiss Lampard, due to a series of defeats and negative results that led to the team dropping to ninth place in the Premier League, which necessitates a change of coach.
Lampard took over as coach of the team 18 months ago, succeeding Italian Mauricio Sarri and succeeded in his first season in qualifying for the Champions League.
