Claude Makelele says Frank Lampard shouldn’t be blamed for Chelsea’s woes, saying: ‘Guardiola or Mourinho wouldn’t have done any better.’
The former Blues’ midfielder believes the interim boss should be cleared of any responsibility for the mess at Stamford Bridge. Speaking at the Laureus World Sports awards in Paris, the ex-France international stood squarely behind his one-time team-mate.
He said: “It’s a difficult situation - not only for Frank - it would be for any other manager. You could have brought in Guardiola, Mourinho or whoever you think is the best. But they would have struggled because he was dealing with very new players.
