Frank Lampard has urged Chelsea to back manager Antonio Conte and made it clear he thinks the manager will come good at the clubConte has of course been linked with the sack in recent weeks, after Chelsea’s second season under him looked like falling apart after winning the title last season, but Lampard thinks time needs to be given to the Blues boss – and the club need to show more faith in Conte than they did in Jose Mourinho, who they of course sacked.
He said to Omnisport: “Unfortunately in the Premier League, if you don’t win every game, people start talking about your job.“But I think with Conte, everyone close to Chelsea knows what a great manager he is and I hope he stays and I think he’ll be more successful.“It was a difficult period for the club. We don’t come 10th, it doesn’t happen normally.“To change that around, with pretty much the same group of players that shows what a great manager he is. Great tactically, great with the players, the players work very hard together.
“Last season they won the league very comfortably, because of Conte’s management, I think to a big degree. So we’re very early in the season now.”Mourinho is not the only manager to be linked with a move to PSG, with Antonio Conte also thought to be on the Ligue 1 club’s list, meaning he could well be off at the end of the season.So far, Conte has made it clear he wants to stay at Chelsea, and it seems that he plans on taking the squad further in the Champions League and having a go at winning the Premier League, something the club are still talking about after their win over Manchester United before the international break.Frank LampardChelseaAntonio Conte
