Frank Lampard is set to continue as the Chelsea manager until the end of the season. On April 6, the club appointed Lampard as manager until the summer, and he will stay in that capacity despite their subpar performance. Brentford, a West London opponent, defeated Chelsea 2-0 at home on Wednesday night, marking Lampard’s fifth loss in five games. The club is still searching for a new permanent manager, and Mauricio Pochettino is now the front-runner. It is planned that he will take over at the end of the current campaign.
At halftime against Brentford, Chelsea’s home fans were booed off, and many of them decided to show their unhappiness even more by leaving Stamford Bridge early. The statistics accompanying Chelsea’s collapse are concerning; since defeating Leicester at the King Power on March 11 while Graham Potter was still in charge, they have not triumphed in any tournament or on any surface. Since then, Bruno Saltor and Lampard have collectively presided over an eight-game losing streak.
The season for Chelsea is concluded. Any uncertainty was eliminated on Wednesday night when Brentford put on a strong away performance to earn back-to-back victories at Stamford Bridge. Lampard suffered his sixth straight setback after rejoining the team as acting manager. He had watched his Chelsea team play brilliantly against Real Madrid earlier this month, but they eventually left regretting the same old flaws.
On Wednesday night, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard noticed his banner, “In Frank We Trust – Then. Now,” near The Shed End. Forever, those were likely the last words of his former teammate that crossed his mind. But this losing streak has raised concerns about whether Lampard made the right decision in seizing this chance to return to management and whether his standing as a manager within the sport is deteriorating further with each loss.
