"Chelsea is a big part of my life" - Club legend responds to talk of replacing Liam Rosenior | OneFootball

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has admitted that the Blues remain a big part of his life but distanced himself from leaving his current job as Coventry City manager.

Lampard has just guided Coventry to promotion to the Premier League, so one imagines he’ll be keen to remain in the job and continue the fine work he’s done.

At the same time, however, there is now a vacancy at Chelsea after this week’s sacking of Liam Rosenior, so it could be that Lampard will be one of the names in the frame.

Lampard has previously had a spell as Chelsea manager and also returned for a brief second spell as caretaker manager, but he seems to have improved a lot since taking over at Coventry.

While Lampard didn’t completely rule out returning to Stamford Bridge, it seems like he remains committed to Coventry for the time being, as per his quotes on Fabrizio Romano’s X page…

“Chelsea is a big part of my life and at the moment that’s their business and my business is here,” Lampard said.

“I’d like to think Coventry fans would just be enjoying where we are, the world of management, lots are out of control, you just control your work.

“At the minute I think we should just enjoy where we are, we’ve had an amazing season and I am really proud and pleased to be part of it, I enjoy what I’m doing here, I can’t control who worries or not.”

Who should be next Chelsea manager?

Chelsea really need to get their next managerial appointment right after a difficult few years under this current ownership.

CFC parted ways with Rosenior this week, but he’d only been in the job for three months after Enzo Maresca also left earlier this season.

Prior to that, Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter are also two big names who’ve failed in the Chelsea job under Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.

The west London giants probably need someone with more top-level experience than Lampard, but it might also be tricky to convince some of the game’s bigger names to join under these conditions.
