The 41-year-old succeeds Maurizio Sarri as manager at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<h1>Chelsea Appoint Frank Lampard<\/h1>\n<h2>Frank Lampard &#8211; Coaching Career<\/h2>\n<p>The risk of appointing Lampard comes from his minimal experience as a manager. He has spent just one season as manager of Derby County.<\/p>\n<p>However, his time at Derby can be deemed a successful one. They finished sixth in the Championship and narrowly missed out on promotion after defeat in the play-off final. As a result, he has shown the promise to become a successful manager.<\/p>\n<p>Lampard &#8211; on the whole &#8211; was also successful in the domestic cup competitions. His Derby side defeated <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> on penalties at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup before being losing narrowly to Chelsea in the following round. Furthermore, they also defeated <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a> in the third round of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably, Frank Lampard&#8217;s managerial career has demonstrated two qualities so far &#8211; attacking football and faith in youngsters. Derby were one of the top scorers in the 2018\/19 Championship, scoring 69 goals.
