Mauricio Pochettino is “not silly,” according to Frank Lampard, for waiting to take the Chelsea job.

Chelsea’s hiring team interviewed some candidates, including Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, after Graham Potter was fired last month.

But Pochettino is now anticipated to take over at Stamford Bridge after Lampard’s interim tenure is over. Pochettino has been unemployed since he was fired by Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Chelsea had thought about replacing Potter immediately with a permanent replacement. But Lampard insists he knows why the team’s new manager will want to wait until the end of the current campaign.

Does Chelsea need to wait around to find the ideal manager? Yes, that is what they should do. said, Lampard.

‘We are at the point in the season where we realize that we won’t qualify for Europe, and other managers are probably saying. ‘I’ll look at this and wait until pre-season when I can enforce what I want to do,” said the player.

It’s not silly on their part, because the run-in includes games against the top four, which will be challenging.

In order to achieve long-term success, Lampard thinks Chelsea must give up their previous strategy of frequently changing managers.

Lampard 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 right now and you see managers that have been working there for a long time.”

“Recruitment works in a direction and is in line with the kind of squad and identity they want to bring.

You can see that long-term managers have been successful for City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Therefore, it is obvious that something must hopefully align if you want to get there. For us right now, it hasn’t. To make it happen, we must devise a method.

‘I was always a member of the Chelsea squad that frequently changed managers. I can easily say that I was very successful with casual hindsight. Despite having won five or six, I only managed to win three [league] championships. My sentiment is that.

If we had more consistency and the ability to move in one direction, we might have won more titles. We ought to have done, in my opinion.
