If it’s any consolation to Frank Lampard, he’s not the only coach who was catapulted into his role just in time for the Champions League quarter finals in the hope that he might produce some kind of magical bounce, only to see his team fall absolutely flat.
Thomas Tuchel, Lampard’s successor last time he left Chelsea, has been just doing just as badly at Bayern since replacing Julian Nagelsmann before the Manchester City quarter-final. In fact, by some metrics, he’s doing even worse.
When Tuchel took over a month ago, Bayern were still in the German Cup and the Champions League yet are out of both now.
