‘Use the force, Frank!’ – Desailly expects Lampard to be Chelsea success story

A former team-mate of the new Blues boss believes the man charged with the task of taking on a tough job will thrive back at Stamford Bridge

Frank Lampard has been urged to “use the forces” at Chelsea, with Marcel Desailly confident that a club legend will thrive back in familiar surroundings at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have turned to an iconic figure for inspiration in the wake of Maurizio Sarri’s departure.

Lampard has been handed a three-year contract after returning to west London with just 12 months of coaching experience behind him.
