names for the future – Corriere.it

There’s never a good time to part ways with a legend like Lampard, but after deep thought we’ve decided it’s time for a change. It ended like this, after a month with only one win, one draw and three defeats. In January of 2021 Frank Lampard he was sacked by Chelsea to make way for Thomas Tuchel: today, two years and a few months later, after Potter’s sacking, the former midfielder returns to Stamford Bridge by surprise.

The return of Lampard

It seemed impossible to imagine a return of Frankie to London, blue shore. He, who wrote history with that shirt, becoming the best scorer in the club’s history (as a midfielder), hadn’t left himself in the best way as a coach. In his place was Tuchel, who won the Champions League in a few months. However, one cannot say no to the call of one’s own home. Lampard arrives after a disappointing experience at Everton, from which he was exempt with the club in the relegation zone. On the other hand, Chelsea are in the midst of one of the most complicated seasons in their recent history and are hoping that the return of a legend like him can give the jolt needed to save what can be saved. After hundreds of millions spent on the market and two managers sacked, a disappointing eleventh place in the standings is not enough. Too little for owner Todd Boehly, who searched for various names before returning to the former number 8, which will be presented at a press conference today.

Nagelsmann or Luis Enrique for the future

Once the season is over, it will be casting among the biggest names currently without contracts. Number one on the list Julian Nagelsmann, with which one could think about a long-term project. The former Bayern player preferred not to take over to reason better and have the possibility – in case – to start from scratch. The other names? Luis Enrique remains among the most popular: the Spaniard without a contract after the end of the relationship with the Iberian national team. But from England there is no shortage of suggestive ideas, such as that of Antonio Conte. He, who has already coached the Blues and is still the last to bring a Premier League to London. After the farewell to rivals Tottenham, the future remains to be written. The last word, as always, will go to patron Todd Boehly.
