Thomas Tuchel hails 'amazing' Frank Lampard for 'laying the foundations' for a Champions League and FA Cup double at Chelsea... but reveals he hasn't spoken to his predecessor since their initial contact after his sacking

Thomas Tuchel has hailed former manager Frank Lampard for 'laying the foundations' to get Chelsea into both the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

The Blues are gearing up for a massive three weeks before the season comes to a close, taking on Leicester in the FA Cup final this weekend before facing Man City in the Champions League final on May 29.

Chelsea are in imperious form under Tuchel and are in pole position for a top-four finish too considering they found themselves ninth in the Premier League after 19 games, 11 points behind then leaders Manchester United and five points off Liverpool in fourth when Lampard was sacked.
