'Lampard is the brightest English coach in a generation' - Chelsea boss' fiery altercation with Klopp shows his promise, says Collymore

Frank Lampard is the brightest English coach for a generation, according to Stan Collymore – because he swore at Jurgen Klopp.

The two managers were involved in a fiery confrontation at Anfield as Chelsea were beaten 5-3 by Liverpool, with Lampard taking exception to perceived arrogance from the hosts.

Lampard has since said he regrets telling Klopp to “f*ck off”, but Collymore was pleased to see him bare his teeth at the home of the Premier League champions.

Chelsea are bang on track and it’s just a matter of time before the Blues boss makes them a firm fixture at the top,” Collymore wrote in the Mirror.
