Former Chelsea boss Avram Grant is happy seeing Frank Lampard now in charge.

Grant says he knew Lampard would make a good manager from their time together.

"I was sure, because he was always a leader. When you spoke with him, he had a different view about football," he told Stats Perform News.

"In my team at Chelsea there was a lot of leaders. I thought [Michael] Ballack would be a good coach, Didier [Drogba], John Terry, because there was a good personality and a lot of knowledge about football.

"Of course, having the knowledge is not the same, you have to pass the knowledge to players, you have to deal with the owner, the media, you have to deal with the supporters, but at the end of the day, you depend on the performance on the pitch – it's results, especially at the top."
