'If Sarri had a start like Lampard this year at Chelsea he would be fired': Italian journalist
Italian journalist Stefano Boldrini believes Frank Lampard is much more protected and is backed then Chelsea's previous managers Sarri in particular.
"If Sarri had a start like Lampard this year at Chelsea he would be fired, Lampard was protected," Italian journalist Stefano Boldrini told TuttoJuve.
Despite a huge splash of money in the transfer Lampard side is yet to hit top gear in the 2020/21 season winning 2 of their 6 Premier League games so far and Stefano Boldrini believes Sarri would have come under tremendous pressure.
However, things are beginning to fall in place as the blues are yet to concede a single goal in their last 3 games across all competition.
Maurizio Sarri was appointed as Chelsea manager in the 2017/18 season, where he won the UEFA Europa League in his only season with the club. He returned to Italy to coach Juventus in 2019, with whom he went on to win the Serie A title in his first season, becoming the oldest manager to ever win the Serie A.
