RobJames 828 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) The person appointed will be one with a remit to oversee the coaching of the players at the club. He will naturally delegate a fair bit of the hands on stuff to others. But he will not be a manager in the sense of the likes of Bruce. That is why it makes no sense to suggest that it will be the likes of Lampard. Or any of his type. Edited November 7, 2021 by RobJames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Lampard was the 'Head Coach' of Chelsea. It is you that isn't making sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted November 7, 2021 It's interesting because on the one hand Brexit has slammed the door shut on obscure foreigners used to working under a Sporting Director but on the other hand many British based options won't be comfortable with Webber sticking his oar in.
