Premier League: Chelsea boss Frank Lampard to be sacked, Thomas Tuchel to take over : In a latest development, it has been reported by the Athletic that Premier League giants Frank Lampard is set to be sacked by the London club.
The Premier League giants will reportedly axe the club legend less than 24 hours after beating Luton Town in the FA Cup fourth round.
Lampard, who is considered one of Chelsea’s greatest ever players after winning 13 trophies in a 13-year stint in west London, took charge in 2019 following a year in the Championship with Derby County.
He steered the west London club to a top four finish in his maiden season in the top-flight, but the mood has soured at Stamford Bridge this term with the Blues lagging behind their rivals despite a summer spend exceeding the £200million mark.
The 42-year-old has come under increasing pressure over the last few weeks with Chelsea currently sitting ninth in the top-flight, 11 points behind league leaders Manchester United
It is understood Tuchel is set to be appointed Lampard’s successor.
Former Borussia Dortmund manager Tuchel is currently out of work having been sacked by Paris Saint-Germain just before Christmas.
