Max Allegri is unlikely to be the new Chelsea boss with Roman Abramovich having been put off the Italian. Allegri has been out of work for over a year, leaving Juventus in the summer of 2019. He won five consecutive Serie A titles while in Turin, also lifting the Coppa Italia on four occasions. Though the 53-year-old is not believed to be high on Abramovich’s wish-list with Frank Lampard having
Chelsea: Five failings that cost Lampard his job Brendan Rodgers has given his verdict on Frank Lampard’s sacking as Chelsea manager – saying the club legend should have been given more time. Lampard was axed on Monday following a poor run of form in the Premier League, with Thomas Tuchel set to be announced as his successor. Chelsea’s defeat to Leicester last week appears to have been marked the end
Chelsea supporters have spotted a parting dig at Frank Lampard in the club’s official statement. Lampard has left Stamford Bridge after 18 months in the dugout having agreed a three-year deal back in 2019, winning 44 of his 84 matches in charge. Despite their progression in both the Champions League and the FA Cup, five defeats in their last eight Premier League outings have proved too much for Roman Abramovich.

The NFL franchise bought 15 per cent of Leeds through their affiliate 49ers Enterprises in 2018 and president Paraag Marathe becomes the club’s vice-chairman. Chairman Andrea Radrizzani remains the majority shareholder and he claims the injection of cash from the 49ers will help Leeds continue to grow.
Chelsea: Tuchel reportedly eyed as replacement for Lampard Frank Lampard turned down a lucrative job offer to take the Chelsea job. But, now, the 42-year-old has lost his job at Stamford Bridge. It’s been an inconsistent campaign for the Blues so far, with the west London giants sitting ninth in the Premier League table. Lampard was hired by Chelsea back in 2019, named as a replacement for Maurizio Sarri. But
Frank Lampard has been sacked as Chelsea manager with the Blues ninth in the Premier League after a poor run of results. Chelsea beat Luton Town 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, but the victory was not enough to keep Lampard in his job, with owner Roman Abramovich dismissing him on Monday. Former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel is expected to be appointed in
Thomas Tuchel is set to be appointed as Chelsea's next manager with Frank Lampard facing the sack today. The Blues legend is set to pay the price for a miserable run of form with former Paris Saint-Germain boss Tuchel primed to take over. Tuchel will inherit a talented Stamford Bridge squad and be tasked with bringing the best out of some big-money summer signings after a tough adjustment period under
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chose not to risk Eric Bailly for Manchester United's FA Cup tie with Liverpool as the Ivorian had a "little" injury concern. Bailly, 26, missed much of the first half of the season with a muscle injury but he has enjoyed an extended run in the starting XI in recent weeks.
