Points haul quintupled: PL legend's best managerial comeback ever?

25,000 fans in the stands celebrate him frantically and roar from the depths of their lungs, “Super, super Frank! ” More than that: even beyond his own club, he is now considered one of the hottest coaching prospects in England. Just a year and a half ago, hardly anyone would have expected Frank Lampard to enjoy this level of popularity as a coach ever again.

The negative headlines from his time at Everton and Chelsea were still too fresh. Above all, the numbers speaking against him were far too clear. At Everton, Lampard averaged just 1.

0 points per game between January 2022 and January 2023. During his second spell at Chelsea, that figure dropped to a sobering 0. 45 points per match.

Across all clubs, he at one point suffered a staggering ten straight defeats. England’s top flight had not seen such a negative run since 1988! Accordingly, the criticism of Lampard was fierce.
