John Terry has revealed his belief that Frank Lampard is the right man for Chelsea during an interview with the Daily Mail.
As the Daily Mail report, Lampard is on the verge of being elected as Maurizio Sarri’s replacement at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard, the club’s record goalscorer, enjoyed a successful debut campaign at Derby and looks set to be rewarded as a result.
While the club are taking a risk in appointing Lampard, there appears to be a firm belief that it’s a risk worth taking.
Former captain Terry is another who is optimistic about Lampard’s chances at Chelsea. He’s quoted by the Daily Mail saying:
“After the season he has had with Derby and with Chelsea’s transfer ban in place, there is no-one better equipped than Frank to succeed at Chelsea. It is perfect timing for him and the club.”
“Frank was under pressure to succeed at Chelsea the day he arrived from West Ham and he never hid from that. He revelled in it and went on to become Chelsea’s greatest-ever player.”
While this could just be a case of JT backing a close friend of his, we get the impression that he has genuine faith he will succeed.
Those who know Lampard well have all said great things about him as a man and a manager. That gives us great optimism.
