Frank Lampard is considered a possible successor to Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea

This is a major change in London. After superstar Eden Hazard, who moved to Real Madrid, now leaves the coach the club.

The successor is the former Chelsea player Frank Lampard (640 competitive games) traded. The 40-year-old, who won the Champions League in 2012 as a player with the Londoners, had barely missed promotion in his first season as coach at second division Derby County. Several British media, including the Guardian, report that Chelsea wants to talk to Lampard.

Lampard, however, would not have it easy: Currently, a one-year transfer ban is imposed on Chelsea. The blues were suspended by Fifa on 22 February for allegedly violating rules in 29 international transfers and minor player applications. The club had then announced that they wanted to challenge the ban in front of the International Sports Court.
