The immediate past manager of Chelsea, Frank Lampard, has expressed his gratitude to his successor, Thomas Tuchel, over his remarks praising his work in the first half of the 2020/2021 season.
Tuchel
replaced Lampard in January and has led the Blues to the finals of the FA Cup
and Champions League.
The former PSG
boss has also all but sealed a top-four finish in the Premier League.
But he gave credit to the
foundation Lampard laid, as the reason why he is thriving.
In reaction, Lampard said
today: “I appreciated his (Tuchel’s) words last week.
“I was pleased to hear them
because I think it’s right. I’m not just giving myself credit. But if I was in
his shoes I would certainly speak like that so he’s giving me credit for the
first half of the season.
“He’s taken it on and I’ll give
him credit for that as well because to reach two finals and to be in contention
for the top four, I know that battle from last year, we were in it last year
and it’s tough battle, especially in the run-in.
