Former Chelsea midfielder and manager, Frank Lampard is reportedly set to takeover as the manager of Serie A club, AS Roma.
Lampard, who set an undesirable record when leading the Blues, is currently a pundit for Amazon Prime and may be witnessing a change in fortune soon.
The Giallorossi’s hasty decision to fire Daniele De Rossi and replacing him with Ivan Juric has swiftly come back to haunt them.
Lampard may be appointed soon, according to Gazzetta dello Sport as reported by Caught Offside, but the Roma management would be well to consider the 46-year-old’s track record.
MARCA even dubbed the former England international worst Chelsea manager under Roman Abramovich.
When Todd Boehly brought him back to the club, things didn’t get any better. He lost 17 of his first 20 games as manager and just won one.
With that kind of record, it’s hard to imagine Roma not going crazy again, especially when you take into account that Lampard has absolutely no professional playing or managerial experience in Serie A.

He was undoubtedly one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. But as has been said countless times, a great player does not necessarily make a great manager.
To observe how badly his former England teammate, Steven Gerrard, another elite midfield player, is performing at Al-Ettifaq, Lampard only needs to look to Saudi Arabia.
