Former Chelsea FC defender believes Frank Lampard is in danger of losing his job at Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard might not survive the current bad run at Stamford Bridge according to his former teammate William Gallas.

Chelsea spent over €200m in the summer in order to strengthen the squad for the 2020/21 campaign.

However, Super Frank’s boys are only ninth in the Premier League, 10 points behind leaders Manchester United.

The Blues have won just one of their last six top-flight outings. This makes Gallas believe that Lampard’s position at Stamford Bridge is in danger already.

“I think Lampard’s position is in danger. He’s not in a good position right now as they’re not in the top three at the moment,” said the former French defender via Football365.

“They spent a lot of money so the board want to see Chelsea winning the Premier League.

“I thought this season that they had a great chance to win it, but at the moment I’m sure the board aren’t happy with the results which is why I’m sure Frank is in a dangerous position. He needs to try and finish in the top three or win the Premier League.

“When you spend almost £250m on players, that means you want to win the Premier League and the moment Chelsea’s position isn’t good. They’re not performing against the big clubs.

“The pressure is on Frank and he needs to find the solution very quickly because as we know, when you are the manager of Chelsea you can be sacked very quickly.

“The pressure is on him and he has to find the right system,” the Frenchman concluded.

Gallas and Lampard spent five years together at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League in 2005 and 2006.
