Chelsea caretaker Lampard raps Abramovich sack policy: It cost me trophies

Chelsea caretaker Frank Lampard has urged co-owner Todd Boehly to promote stability at the club.

The Blues coach, who was their permanent manager before losing his job to Thomas Tuchel a couple of years ago, spoke about the club's predicament.

After sacking Graham Potter after Tuchel lost his post earlier in the season, Lampard believes the Blues need to find a manager and then commit to them.

“I was part of the Chelsea team that changed managers regularly," said Lampard to reporters.

“With casual hindsight, it is easy to say I had great success.

“I won three titles, but I should have won five or six. That's my feeling, if we had had more consistency and been able to work in one direction.

“You look at the successful models at the top end of the league and you see managers that have been working there a long time, recruitment aligned with the type of squad they want.

“You see City, Liverpool and Arsenal. So clearly if you want to get there it's something that hopefully aligns. At the moment for us, it hasn't."
