Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole believes Frank Lampard has given Chelsea a lift since arriving in the dugout this season - praising his decision making since becoming a coach.
Cole feels he has enjoyed a flawless start to life in the dugout, and praised the early impact he has had at Chelsea.
'He has galvanised the club,' he said, speaking as a pundit on BT Sport after Chelsea beat Lille 2-1 to seal their spot in the Champions League knockouts.
'He hasn’t put a foot wrong since he started in management. People forget that Derby wasn’t an easy job.
'Allowing David Luiz to move on was a massive decision knowing he had [Fikayo] Tomori. He has been brilliant and you can only give him praise.'
His fellow pundits Rio Ferdinand and Glenn Hoddle concurred, with former Manchester United defender Ferdinand - who played with Lampard for England - impressed with the positive aura he was passing on to his players.
He said: 'It’s great for someone so young to come in and hit the ground running the way he has. The confidence he exudes, that bodes well for the future.
'That steeliness comes through. Teams are a reflection of their managers and I’m sure he’ll try to get that through to his players.'
Meanwhile, former Chelsea boss Hoddle admitted he was surprised with how quickly Lampard had settled into life as a manager with the club.
'I think he’s doing brilliantly in a short period of time. He had pride in his own performances as a player and he’s setting the standard for his team and he’s learnt so quickly. Sometimes it can take five or six years to do what he’s doing.'

he learnt from a very young age to be responsible.... having a footballing father, Uncle Harry and some wonderful coaches all through the years really help in moulding him to become the man he is?
