Chelsea face Krasnodar in
Champions League on WednesdayLampard: ‘We have managers at home who can do the jobs’Frank Lampard has called on homegrown managers to be shown more respect after becoming only the second Englishman to manage in two Champions League campaigns.
Chelsea’s manager believes his compatriots deserve increased opportunities at the highest level after he followed in the footsteps of Sir Bobby Robson, who took charge of Porto, PSV Eindhoven and Newcastle in the competition. The five other English coaches to have managed in the Champions League since its revamp in 1992 – Howard Wilkinson, Ray Harford, Gary Neville, Harry Redknapp and Craig Shakespeare – only did so for one campaign.
