Chelsea Manager Lampard Slams Media Amid Speculation Over His Future

Chelsea Manager Lampard Slams Media Amid Speculation Over His Future

Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has slammed the media following recent reports about his side and increased speculations over his future at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard reveals he does not concern himself with what is written about Chelsea in the media despite admitting his men could be hurt over some of the comments.

Chelsea have slipped to eighth on the Premier League table due to recent poor performances. The Blues have won just two of their last seven league games; four defeats and one draw.

The media has tipped Lampard as the next manager to be sacked in the Premier League due to the current slump of the West Londoners.

Names like Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralph Hasenhuttl and Brendan Rodgers have been linked to the top job at Stamford Bridge at the expense of the former Derby manager.

Ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup game against Luton on Sunday, Lampard sounded feisty whiles answering questions from the media.

"I don't listen to it. It's only everywhere if you want to scroll through social media or something, but I don't do that," Lampard told reporters. "I'm not stupid, I know the pressures that come with managing a top football club, but I just do my job, it doesn't matter to me.

"What marker are you putting on that? I am not going to sit talking about [them performing by] next season as it would be nonsense," he added. "Any manager in the Premier League wouldn't talk about next season because you can only worry about what's in front of you."

The English coach was further questioned on when we would see improvements from the likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, Lampard responded: "Again, what's the marker on that? Is it to get someone playing like Eden Hazard did in the prime of his career? What are you asking?

"That's what we are working towards, yes," he concluded, about trying to get the best from them this season.
