Cesc: Arteta has it tougher at Arsenal than Lampard with Chelsea

AS Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas says Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has a far tougher job than Frank Lampard at Chelsea.

Cesc is a former Arsenal and Chelsea player.

Chelsea took a gamble with Frank because it was only his second year as a main coach and he's done very well. With Mikel it's a little bit of the same," he told the Guardian.

"He's been with Pep [Guardiola] for three years, and I'm sure he's like a master for any young coach that wants to start being a manager.

“I think he's done well [so far] and I'm sure he's brought back some values to the club that was needed.

"Obviously it's a much harder job than Chelsea in terms of rebuilding the squad, and they are very young, and they had problems because [Arteta] started much further down the line than Chelsea, but I'm positive that they will pick up very soon and that next season could be the one for them."
