The managerial merry-go-round could well be set to start up again at Stamford Bridge with current boss Maurizio Sarri hotly tipped to leave this summer with Juventus the likely destination.

Chelsea are currently on their seventh manager in ten years, but will they enjoy their eighth?

Sarri is expected to depart these shores in the coming months following reports from the Evening Standard that his agent has already met with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia to finalise his departure.

As per the same report, it is understood that ex-midfielder Frank Lampard is the number one priority to take over the role, with Jody Morris also potentially returning to the club as his assistant. But is this really the right move this early on into Lampard’s career?

While we agree that he has proven he can work and develop young talents, including Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori, who have been beside him in his first year of management, the worry for us is that this simply isn’t enough to qualify him for the highly pressured job that is Chelsea manager.

Lampard led Derby County to the Championship play-off final last month, which is impressive – yes, but his efforts were in vain as he fell at the final hurdle, losing out to Aston Villa in what was a fairly comfortable victory, despite a 2-1 scoreline. Is this what the Blues really want?

His inexperience means we haven’t yet seen how he truly copes with a poor run of fixtures, especially not in the Premier League. Whether he changes tact, utilises excellent man management skills, or simply crumbles under the pressure. There’s simply no way of knowing. Just look at Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, for example. The former striker, who bagged “that” famous goal at Bayern Munch in 1999, managed to win just two games in 12 towards the end of the season, with Jamie Redknapp suggesting (h/t the Mail via the Metro) the Norwegian is already clinging on to his job last month.

And that’s simply it. The club isn’t going away anytime soon, and perhaps he'll be in line for it later in his career, simply by virtue of the fact that he is in the management game and a Chelsea icon. Why rush?
