Why Lampard Could be a Huge Success at Chelsea

Young manager with fresh ideas

This isn’t really a valid reason, but a great starting point for the rest. As a young manager, there are a lot of excitement that comes with it. The footballing world is gradually being taken over by young managers, and there are already a good number of young managers doing great things in football at the moment. As a young manager, he will bring that excitement to the Chelsea team, and also his fresh ideas into the team, which can greatly benefit the team.

Chelsea legend

This is one of the key factors to why he could be a hit for Chelsea. As a former Chelsea player and a Chelsea legend, he knows the club’s tradition and everything about the club. This knowledge will help instill what the club stands for in the minds of the players, and also the players will easily trust him since he was already successful at the club and knows how to be successful as a player.

Reputation

This doesn’t really matter when it comes to club football management, but it plays a huge role on how quickly the players trust in the manager's methods. He might not have the reputation as a manager yet since he is still new in the managerial game, but his track record as a player speaks volume for him. With this, some of the players who have watched him play and the younger players can trust that he knows his onions when it comes to being a successful player on the pitch.

Team motivation

This is an area that we have seen from Lampard’s management, his ability to motivate the players both on and off the pitch has been a key factor to why Derby County has been able to pull off some remarkable results this season. This skill will really be of great value to Chelsea, as the players can be on their toes and with the qualities they possess + the right motivation, they can really do great things.

Crazy celebration

This is something the blues fans has missed for a long time since the Jose Mourinho era but was fortunate to see that at the bridge once again during Conte short spell at the club. We have already seen that Lampard loves to express his emotions on the touchline, especially during great moments. This really adds life to the atmosphere and the fans and players love managers who express their joy along with the players.

Positive energy

This is a very important factor as well. As seen already, he really radiates positive energy to the team, both on and off the pitch. This skill helps to create a good vibe around the team and a team that is surrounded by good vibes tends to produce positive results.

Utilizes youth players

This is something the Chelsea fans are always crying out for. A manager who can show trust on the youth players and give chance to the ones that are ready to showcase their abilities on the big stages. As seen already at Derby, Lampard loves to make use of young player with talent. This could be a great thing for Chelsea as they have loads quality talent in the academy and also in the loan army. With the transfer ban coming, having a manager who knows how to utilize youth players is key to ensure that the club survives the transfer ban period.

No nonsense attitude

This is a very good quality to have as a manager, as it makes the players know that they can’t get away with not doing the right thing. As a Chelsea manager, he will be able to tame some of the things that are not right in the team.

Demanding above 100%

This is very huge as well as he always demands above 100% from the players. As a Chelsea manager, he can push the players to always give their best every week to achieve positive performances and results, especially from players who need that extra push to showcase their true abilities.
