Lampard looks set to take over from Sarri at Stamford Bridge, with the Italian primed for a move to Juventus.The Chelsea legend had a strong first season in management, having led Derby County to the Play-Off final.They were defeated by Aston Villa, however, and the entire weekend was cloaked in an aura of uncertainty over Lampard’s future. The four thing Frank Lampardmust do at Chelsea, two key changesThe 40-year-old was linked with the Chelsea job before the game, and it was reported that he would hold talks with Derby bosses after the game.With Sarri set to be announced as Juventus boss within the next coming days, fans believe that it is only a matter of time before Lampard’s move is confirmed.Derby will apparently demand £4million in compensation for their manager, who still has two yearsremaining on his contract.Chelsea are said to be keen on hiring Lampard due to his popularity with the fans, unlike Sarri who - accordingto reports - first decided he wanted to leave after fans chanted “F**k Sarri-Ball” during a game.Frank Lampard could be in the managerial dugout at Stamford Bridge next season Speaking on ESPN FC, Burley slammed the decision to give Lampard the role, and likened the situation to that of Manchester Unitedand Ole Gunnar Solskjear.Solskjaer was handed the reigns at Old Trafford after impressing as interim boss, but after he was given the role full-time, results started to slip and they missed outon the Champions League.“The one thing I’ve heard is that this unites the fans, what a load of nonsense,” Burley said of the decision to appoint Lampard.“It’s the same thing as at United - ‘well this gets the fanson our side’, what the hell does that matter?Frank Lampard is still extremely popular amongst Chelsea fans “Right, because fans get on the side of a team when they perform on the field. When a team doesn’t perform on the field, the fans aren’t on that side.“It matters not a jot who they appoint, fans will only be on your side because they think ‘oh, well Frank’s been atChelsea for years, this is a great appointment, we’re all happy’.“Guess what, when results start going a little bit awry, like they did at United, things will change.“If Frank comes in he’ll probably bring in Jody Morris, who was his assistant at Derby, another ex-Chelsea player.
