Can Lampard pull a Tuchel in Real Madrid vs. Chelsea?
April 11, 2023Tweet
Frank Lampard is the fourth man to manage Chelsea this season after the
sacked Graham Potter and brief interim boss Bruno Saltor. He is hoping
to keep up an unusual club tradition of winning a European trophy in the
first season of his reign. Chelsea's last five European trophies have
all come with managers who had taken over that season. Maurizio Sarri
won the 2019 Europa League in his only season as Chelsea boss. Rafael
Benitez led Chelsea to the 2013 Europa League, having been interim
manager from November.
Roberto di Matteo had been interim boss for less than three months when
he took them to 2012 Champions League glory. Gianluca Vialli was made
Chelsea player-manager and guided them to a European Cup Winners' Cup
victory that summer. Dave Sexton is the only Chelsea manager to win a
European trophy more than a year into his reign, the 1971 Cup Winners'
Cup.
