Chelsea FC officially confirmed the upcoming change of coach on Monday afternoon.
Club icon
Frank Lampard
was fired.
"That was a very difficult decision," says the message.
“We are grateful to Frank for what he achieved during his time as the club's head coach.
However, the latest results and performance have not met the club's expectations, leaving the club in the middle of the table with no clear path to sustainable improvement. "
Even owner
Roman Abramovich
, notorious for his trainer wear, spoke up: “I have an excellent relationship with Frank and I have the greatest respect for him.
He is a man of great integrity and has the highest work ethic.
However, in the current circumstances, we believe the best thing to do is to change coach.
On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Frank and wish him the best of luck for the future. ”Former midfielder Lampard played for Chelsea for 13 years before starting his coaching career and celebrated three championships.
His greatest success was winning the 2012 Champions League against FC Bayern in the legendary “Home Final”.

Chelsea FC: Tuchel should integrate Havertz and Werner
The discussions about Lampard have increased significantly in the past few weeks.
After fourth place last year, despite the transfer ban, Chelsea wanted to attack properly this season.
The Blues invested almost
250 million euros
in new players
in the summer
.
The result is terrifying.
After only one win in the last five league games, the Londoners are in
ninth place
in the gray middle of the
table
.
On Sunday, Chelsea got one more round in the FA Cup in a 3-1 win against second division Luton Town - but that didn't change the unsatisfactory overall situation.
Lampard's greatest omission is the lack of integration of the new
superstars
from the Bundesliga *.
For
Kai Havertz
from Bayer Leverkusen and
Timo Werner
from RB Leipzig, Chelsea took 133 million euros in hand.
Havertz was often only substituted on and Werner has been jammed for weeks.
The third German international at Chelsea,
Antonio Rüdiger
, only played a minor role for him.
This task is now to be placed in the hands of a German.
The Athletic
reports that
Ralf Rangnick turned down
an offer from Chelsea to act as interim coach.
So now Tuchel should fix it.
