"My opinion is Frank will go a long way in management and I'm not just saying that, I have a reason behind it. I think he has got the right temperament for it. He has got the right commitment for it as well. I'm not always sure that is the case with very, very high level players, they come out of football and they don't have that work ethic, that desire and he really does. He is really, really conscientious, really conscientious."
Paul Clement has seen everything in football. As a coach he has worked with Carlo Ancelotti at some of the biggest clubs in the world. As a manager he has saved a Premier League underdog from the drop even though they appeared destined for relegation.
Those are his words on Frank Lampard. They did not end there. While speaking to the ECHO in Washington DC this summer, he continued: "He lives, eats, breathes his job. He talks about it until late, he is on it right from the morning. When he was on holiday he was on the phones and messages. He is fully immersed in it and I think that is the only way you can be as a manager if you want to do it properly."
