Frank Lampard responds to claims James Corden helped him get Chelsea manager job

Frank Lampard has demanded more respect for Todd Boehly as he was quizzed on whether James Corden's recommendation got him a second bite of the cherry at Chelsea.

The Blues legend has been hired as interim boss to see them through until the end of the season following Graham Potter's sacking. Boehly is on the lookout for another permanent boss and, whilst he does so, reports claim the English comedian, who is a close friend, recommended that he give Lampard the role until the campaign ends.

The 44-year-old was appointed four days after Potter's dismissal as Chelsea's crazy first season under the American's ownership continues. Huge sums have been spent for little reward, but Lampard cited Boehly's other successes and claimed he wouldn't go off one person's recommendation.
