Fabregas talks about the qualities of Lampard as the relationship with Chelsea's directors develops

Cesc Fabregas believes that Frank Lampard has sufficiently demonstrated, during his inaugural season as a manager, that he possessed the necessary qualities to continue his progression with the former club of Chelsea.

Maurizio Sarri had a stunning first season at the helm of the West London club, which he led to the Carabao Cup final, a third place in the glory of the Premier League and the Europa League.

The Italian is now sought after by Juventus, long-time champion of Serie A, with Weekend reports suggesting that an agreement had already been reached between the old lady and the former boss of Napoli.

For example, Chelsea legend Lampard has become the favorite of bookmakers to replace him if he leaves. although the Rams boss does not care when he's been questioned recently.

The club's all-time leading scorer led Derby to the Sky Bet playoff final in his first season of management.

"I think he's done a really awesome job," said the Spaniard. Sports Press Association. "This is his first job. He changed a lot of things.

"I saw him in Russia with the BBC (when he was working for the World Cup) and he also had a very tough team, an older team filled with players at the end of their contracts.

"He completely renewed the team and recruited young players.

"He played a very aggressive style, attacking football. Really for a first job, I think he's done really well.

Fabregas greets Sarri

While Fabregas appreciates the work Lampard by far, the midfielder saw first-hand how Sarri operated in Chelsea.

Aged 32, he started the 2018-1919 season with the Blues and settled in Monaco in January, after finding some hard-to-get opportunities with the Italian.

"Well, he's a manager with his own ideas and he does not leave them much," Fabregas said Sarri.

"He has an idea of ​​how he wants to play and what football he really wants to play. He does not move.

"No matter what you tell him, no matter what you advise him, no matter what your opinion is, he will never change.

"He is very superstitious, he is very stubborn in this way.

"But he did it the way he likes it. He has his own vision of football and, in the end, he is where he is and we must respect that. "
