The whole thing screams of a Football Manager save and football's been going that way for the last year or so with Steven Gerrard, Thierry Henry, Lee Bowyer and Phil Neville all moving into management for the first time.
12 days agoOnce Lampard moved out of the BT Sports studio and into the role at Derby County it seemed inevitable that he would one day be in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Maurizio Sarri's decision to move back to Italy along with the Blues' transfer ban has speeded up the process after Lampard's one season at Derby, which resulted in a play-off final loss to Aston Villa.
