‘I saw things that I know can’t be right’ – Frank Lampard lifts lid on chaos behind the scenes at Chelsea
‘I saw things that I know can’t be right’ – Frank Lampard lifts lid on chaos behind the scenes at Chelsea
Published on April 01, 2025 at 11:20 AM
FRANK LAMPARD has revealed “the truth” on his ill-fated interim spell as Chelsea boss.
The Blues legend, 46, took charge of the club on a temporary basis following the dismissal of Graham Potter in April 2023.
Frank Lampard has opened up about his second spell as Chelsea bossThe Chelsea legend was tempted back to the club after an SOS from co-owner Todd BoehlyLampard won just one of out 11 games during his time as interim boss
Lampard spent 13 years at Chelsea as a player and is the club's all-time top goal scorer with 211 goals in 648 games.
He had previously served as manager between 2019 and January 2021, before an ill-fated tenure at Everton.
The 46-year-old was tempted back to the club by co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali after Potter was given the boot.
But he endured a miserable run of form, winning just one of his 11 games in charge.
Lampard has now lifted the lid on his short return to West London.
He told Sky Sports: “I saw things that I know cannot be right at elite football and that's the truth.
“I didn't love working in that short period because it's hard to lay down an idea when you're going to be leaving.”
Lampard, now manager at Coventry, insists Chelsea will “always be a massive club in his life.”
But he regrets taking on the interim role and admits “motivation was a problem.”
He continued: “But when I understand the standards of Chelsea – in that period of time a lot of players were in transition of maybe leaving.
“… Motivation was a problem – in an interim period you can't really affect that.
“When you see the results of it, I'm experienced enough to know what's right and what's wrong and basic things in a training ground on a pitch.
“I didn't learn anything tactical, but it did reinforce my beliefs of all my experiences of when you know what a group is really fighting in the same direction, how strong that can be.
“And when it's not, it can be really challenging.”
I’m extremely pleased for him and pleased for the club.

Lampard returned to football last November after more than 18 months away to take over at the Sky Blues.
