Frank Lampard opens up on his Chelsea downfall, including Kepa issues and how he was sacked

Frank Lampard has opened up on how his brief spell as Chelsea manager unravelled just under a year ago, while also discussing the issues he had with £72million Kepa Arrizabalaga and the size of his squad after last summer's huge outlay.

The 42-year-old club legend, who made 648 appearances for Chelsea and won the Champions League and three Premier League titles, lasted just 18 months in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.

After a promising first season that saw Lampard promote a batch of youngsters to the first team as a result of the club's FIFA-imposed transfer band, his spell came to a quick end in January.
