Frank Lampard's golden strike

Frank Lampard and Chelsea decided to part ways a few weeks ago. The English coach, an absolute legend of the blues as a player, did not find the same success on the bench as when he wore number 8 on the green.

After inheriting Sarri's team and qualifying for the Champions League, the offices decided to give him a luxury squad with notable reinforcements such as Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz or Thiago Silva. With a whole revolution in times of austerity due to the crisis caused by Covid-19, Chelsea expected better results than Lampard, who came out leaving the team in ninth position. Tuchel now relieves him.

The Londoner is now unemployed. A 'golden' strike, yes. According to the English press, Frank Lampard and Chelsea reached an agreement for the termination of the contract in which the blues, instead of paying him all the rest of the agreement at once, would pay him periodically as if he continued working for them up to the 1.8 million that are owed to him.

The blues, yes, have put a condition for the payment: that this will continue only until it finds a new team. That is, if you sign before the full severance payment is completed, you will lose what you are owed.

In a difficult financial situation for the vast majority of clubs due to the economic crisis caused by Covid-19, few clubs can match Chelsea's payments. Given the situation, according to The Sun, Frank did not value the place at Bournemouth and will be slow to return to the bench, unless he forgives a fortune.
