Chelsea caretaker boss Lampard: It's a bad year for the club

Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard has again insisted he has no regrets taking the job.

Lampard was speaking after their 4-1 thumping at Manchester United on Thursday.

He said, "It's a bad year for the club. The important thing is you get to the bottom of how it improves. It needs a rebuild, the club will move on in the summer in terms of the squad. Things need to improve to get to the level.

"To come in without a pre-season and assess, it's probably not my time to give my opinions. It'll be someone else's decisions and a pre-season and start and look will be imperative.

"I don't know. If you ask me what I've learnt in this short period, not so much in terms of coaching because if you haven't got the basics, those things aren't that important. If that's not there then from a coaching point of view there are hard things.

"A lot of the plus points you gain from what the team are fighting for and how they find that extra bit.

"I love working for this club and that's not changed from the moment I've been here."
