Chelsea Sacks Boss ‘Frank Lampard’ following the clubs inconsistency over their league performances. The Sack had been confirmed by Club owner Abramovich on Monday.
Chelsea Football Club on Monday announced it has parted ways with Frank Lampard as head coach.
“This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have taken lightly,” Chelsea said in a statement on its website.
“We are grateful to Frank for what he has achieved in his time as Head Coach of the Club. However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.”
The club said it took the decision after a “lengthy deliberation and consideration it was decided a change is needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.”
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich said it was “very difficult decision for the Club…because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him.
“He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.
“On behalf of everyone at the Club, the Board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as Head Coach and wish him every success in the future. He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge.”
