'It would be a major surprise if he doesn’t get the job' - Redknapp backs 'class' Lampard for Chelsea job

The former Blues midfielder's uncle has tipped his nephew to succeed at Stamford Bridge if given the opportunity to step into the managerial hot seat

Harry Redknapp has backed Derby County boss Frank Lampard to be a success if he replaces Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge, having already proven he has a "touch of class" as a manager.

Lampard guided the Rams to the Championship play-off final at Wembley last season, where they suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Aston Villa.

Despite failing to earn promotion, Lampard impressed during his first full campaign as a head coach and is now being touted for a major step up.
