Frank Lampard has urged Chelsea’s decision of changing manager frequently as the key to instability of the Club and advice to emulate Liverpool and Arsenal.
Chelsea hired Lampard as caretaker After sacking Graham Potter last month, Chelsea’s recruitment team have interviewed several candidates including Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique.
Lampard believes Chelsea need to abandon their previous strategy of frequently changing managers in order to build long-term success.

He said:
‘I don’t think there is always an obvious method but I do think that if you are trying to work for something, you look at the successful models at the top end of the league at the minute and you see managers that have been working there a long time.’
‘Recruitment is aligned with the type of squad and identity they want to bring and it works in a direction.
‘You see City, Liverpool and Arsenal [have success with long-term managers].
So, clearly, if you want to get there it’s something that hopefully aligns.
At the moment for us it hasn’t. We have to find a way that it does.
‘I was always part of the Chelsea team that changed managers regularly. With casual hindsight it is easy to say I had great success.
I won three [league] titles but I should have won five or six. That’s my feeling.
‘We might have won more titles if we’d had more consistency and been able to work in one direction. And I feel like we should have done.’
