Why is lampard leaving chelsea

We are well aware that we stepped in halfway through the season and we try to fulfil the job that he has begun. When you think about Chelsea you think about Frank Lampard and how he is and how he played football.

That showed his character and the message was exactly like this and was a pleasure to receive. Thinking back to his early days in charge at Chelsea, Tuchel did not have a personal expectation that he would lift the team so high in the table so quickly and reach cup finals. He knew club demands meant plenty of pressure on him but preferred to concentrate on the immediate work rather than where it would lead. Take care of the process and the results normally will take care of themselves.

He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge. Tuchel won the DFB-Pokal in with Dortmund before a brief but trophy-laden spell in Paris which saw him win two Ligue 1 titles and a French Cup, as well as reaching the final of last season's Champions League, which they lost to Bayern Munich. Abramovich has never previously commented on footballing matters.

That has not happened so a change had to be made. The aim was not just to finish in the top four. Those losses to Manchester City and Leicester mean Chelsea haven't won any of the six games they've had against teams currently above them in the table.

It's a statistic that does not reflect well on a head coach who is aiming to win respect for his tactical ability. Nor did the constant team changes over recent weeks, which saw Antonio Rudiger swiftly promoted from exile to first-choice centre back, Jorginho suddenly return to midfield - and Lampard use no fewer than 17 combinations in the front three across the Premier League and Champions League. The goals conceded column, set-piece susceptibility, and wasteful finishing continued to hold the team back, despite the expensive outlay, and Lampard leaves the team ninth in the Premier League on 29 points.

That's five places and three points worse off than at the same point last season. The rise and fall of Frank Lampard as Chelsea boss - Read the feature in full. You have to give Frank Lampard a chance. He pulled up trees last season to get them in the Champions League, and they are still in the competition this season.

They have had a bad run. They've brought in a lot of players and Lampard is working with the best group of players he's worked with, but most of them play in the same position. Did Chelsea think they were going to buy a year-old kid from Germany in Kai Havertz, another forward from Germany in Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and a year-old defender in Thiago Silva and just win the league?

Despite qualifying for the Champions League amid a transfer ban at the club during his first season in charge of the club, Lampard, who was was relieved of his duties as Chelsea boss on Monday , could've parted ways with the club last summer. A source close to The Athletic said: "If it had been any other club than Chelsea, Lampard would have walked out in the summer.

But obviously, his connection with the fans and what Chelsea means to him meant he was always going to try to make things work. Under the Englishman, Chelsea managed to finish in the top four in the Premier League last season and though they missed out on FA Cup silverware to Arsenal in the final, Lampard earned plaudits for the incredible job he'd done given the resources available to him.

Lampard was sacked by Chelsea after a dismal run of results in the Premier League, which has ended in him losing his job. It has been reported that there were several reasons that the board pulled the trigger mid-way through the campaign.
