Blues manager hopes Premier League managers can set good example for young coaches
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard hopes the resurgence of British Premier League managers will inspire a future generation of country coaches.
Sam Allardyce became the 11th British head coach in the Premier League when he was named West Brom’s boss earlier in the week.
That’s a big increase from just two years ago, when there were only five UK managers.
Lampard is one of the British managers to enter the Premier League in that period after being named Blues leader in the summer of 2019.
His side take on West Ham David Moyes on Monday, with the Scot returning to the London Stadium in December last year.
Lampard says experienced leaders like Allardyce and Moyes’ return to the Premier League cannot be good for the home game and hopes it will inspire players nearing retirement to go on. into your rule.
“In today’s world, I don’t think it matters where you come from,” Lampard said.
“But it’s good that this is the Premier League here in England and we’re seeing some British managers coming through and doing very well.
“I know there will be a lot of hard work behind that. And if that could inspire younger managers, or players who want to try their hand at being managers, that’s a good thing. Sam Allardyce and David Moyes have been doing well for years. ”
Chelsea enter the game Monday down in eighth place after beating back at Everton and Wolves.
Meanwhile West Ham are in 10th place but can go above Lampard ‘s side and level on points with Southampton in sixth place with a win at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard says that is a testament to the good work done by Moyes in east London, as many were struggling with the hammers at the start of the season.
“The clubs he manages are the major clubs,” said Lampard.
“What he does at West Ham is the job of a senior manager. It does not matter what other people think he needs to free himself. I don’t see it that way. There is nothing to free. ”
