Chelsea Football Club parted ways with head coach Frank Lampard today.

This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have made lightly.

It can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend like Frank, but after long deliberation and consideration, it was decided that a change was needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.

Roman Abramovich said:

“This was a very difficult decision for the Club, especially since I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the greatest respect for him.

“He is a man of great integrity and he has the highest work ethic. However, in the current circumstances, we believe it is better to change managers.

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, the Board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as head coach and I wish him every success in the future. He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains intact. He will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge. "

The Club will not comment further until a new head coach is appointed.
