The Champions League winning manager and Blues fan favourite has backed the Derby boss to succeed if he is handed the manager's job in the near future
Former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has described Frank Lampard as a "great fit" to replace Maurizio Sarri in the Stamford Bridge dugout.
Speaking at the Costa Smeralda Invitational, Di Matteo said: "He's definitely the right man. He's got personality.
“I followed Derby last year and his team plays very good football. He's got all the experience in the world.
"It's a great fit. Whether it's right now or not, only time can tell that.
“You can say it is too early but you have to give people a chance.
“Frank has got all the tools and I think he will make a lot of people happy if he was the next manager."

Finally a neutral that doesnt think lampard will have us in 10th. Its risky but theres no other managers that would take the job under a transfer ban. If lamps just gets the players to work more as a team it could work out

I like Frank, but if he went to back to Chelsea now it would be career suicide. If Chelsea were clever, they would allow him to gain the experience of managing a lower club. Let him cut his teeth first. Traditionally great players don’t make great managers, to lack of experience
