Chelsea icon Frank Lampard has suggested that the ruthless nature of the Premier League contributed to his downfall at Stamford Bridge.
The former midfielder was sacked by the Blues in January last year following an inconsistent run of form and was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
Lampard was in charge for just 18 months having originally penned a three-year deal and managed to leave the Blues into the Champions League in his first season besides a transfer embargo.
