Chelsea are set to see off Frank Lampard with former Borussia Dortmund and PSG manager Thomas Tuchel to replace the former Chelsea player at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard was appointed manager in July 2019 and spent more than £ 200 million last summer on players like Timo Werner and Kai Havertz. Their streak, however, will come to an end after a disappointing run of results knocked them out of rhythm in the fight to qualify for the Champions League.
An unbeaten streak of 14 games in two months since early October has sparked the talk of a title challenge, but Chelsea’s fortunes have fallen markedly and a 2-0 loss at Leicester on Tuesday was further evidence of their incapacity. to beat the most successful teams in the Premier League.
Chelsea beat Luton 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to save Lampard’s job with qualifying for the Champions League as a key priority.
Chelsea are ninth in the league, five points behind fourth-ranked Liverpool. Losses to Arsenal on Boxing Day and Manchester City on January 3 raised serious questions about Lampard’s future and owner Roman Abramovich has now decided to act.
Tuchel, for his part, was fired by PSG on December 24 after two and a half seasons in charge, winning the league twice and leading the team to the 2020 Champions League final, where they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich. . Before that, he managed Borussia Dortmund for two seasons, winning the German Cup in 2017, three days before being fired after falling with the table.
