The former Blues manager believes a man he worked for at Stamford Bridge can prove himself in the toughest positions.
Frank Lampard knows Chelsea’s spending of £ 200 million ($ 274m) will determine whether or not he remains at the helm, says Guus Hiddink, the Blues’ leader in the product industry he needs to deliver as expected.
The Blues legend has been brought back to life at Stamford Bridge after being appointed as Maurizio Sarri’s replacement in the summer of 2019.
A rib embargo was placed on the ribs, preventing it from strengthening the standards in west London, and with a belief in being reflected in home stars.
Lampard led Chelsea to a quarterfinal finish and a place in the FA Cup final, with a promising campaign leading club owner Roman Abramovich to remove dust from the checkbook.
A collection of big money signs has delivered a mixed bag in 2020-21, with value still to be found in some, and Hiddink says a man in the dugout will have future success depending on the success or failure of the spending spree toinnte.
The Dutchman, who has cast two spells as head of the Blues, has revealed The Mirror: “When it comes to signing players, there are a number of people who are accountable. Coaching, of course, is part of the process – but it’s also up to club policy to decide what kind of players you want to attract.
“There are a number of factors to consider before making a judgment. But the coach is always responsible for the results – and Frank understands that. “
Lampard has faced some uncomfortable questions this season, with a 17-game unbeaten run followed by a struggle for consistency that has left Chelsea out of the Premier League title picture.
Time is still on their side when it comes to cup quests, with FA Cup and Champions League campaigns going positively, and Hiddink believes a club image will be able to reproduce the world. -a success he enjoyed as a player.
“Frank is a very honest and upright man,” said Hiddink, who was in charge of the 2009 FA Cup victory.
“He was such a great player for Chelsea, but he will realize that what you have done as a player counts very little when you become a manager.
“When you suffer some loss, it’s only natural to worry. But I don’t see Frank panicking in this situation. He is a very stable man who believes completely in himself.
“It’s also very honest and very straightforward. All coaches want to give them time to put their ideas into action – and it’s even more important when you’re young.
“Frank has proven himself. He did a good job in his first career at Derby and in his first season at Chelsea he qualified for the Champions League.
“It’s going through a difficult time at the moment, but this is when things have to be sustainable.”
