Chelsea legend Frank Lampard says Antonio Conte has the "pedigree" to be a success at his old club.
Conte is expected to be soon confirmed new Chelsea manager.
"I don't know him too well but he's got a great pedigree, a great recent record with Juventus," Lampard told BT Sport.
"I spoke with Andrea Pirlo about him and he has nothing but good words to say about him. I think he's hard working, he'll have the players working hard. He has what fans and players like to see - that determination, that will to win.
"It's a difficult job at Chelsea now considering what's happened this year, so we'll see. If it is him, I think he has the pedigree to do it, but the decision has not been made."
