3 reasons why Frank Lampard should not be Chelsea's next manager 

#2 Will have very high expectations, despite what might be promised

Despite being a Chelsea legend, there's a chance promises will be made to reassure Frank of his job security

Given the volatility that comes with taking the Chelsea job, there's likely to be a set of promises outlined for whoever eventually takes the hot seat.

The existing transfer ban, coupled with departure of talisman Eden Hazard means that although it'll be a tough ask to steady the ship, Roman Abramovich will expect the new boss to provide Champions League football and challenge for some silverware in 2019/20.

The notion that there is limited pressure on Lampard's shoulders should he take the job is, frankly, nonsense. It's the exact opposite: football being a result-driven business and its ruthless methods arguably make it the world's most risky job.

The Blues themselves are aware, too. Over the last decade, they have been unforgiving with managers and your job is constantly on the line at Stamford Bridge. So what happens should they lose their first few games of the new season? Murmurs about job security and whether his appointment was wise will begin to surface among the media. Yes, we are still referring to Chelsea's finest - Lampard.

Abramovich has a machine-like process where there is no time for sentiment nor second thoughts when it comes to hard-hitting decisions. Either the job is done properly and to his high standards, or you're out looking for your next venture elsewhere. It has garnered criticism aplenty and while proving successful at times, this method has also proven problematic too. Whether that be Jose Mourinho, André Villas-Boas, Carlo Ancelotti or Roberto di Matteo, there is a high chance it will happen again before long.

It's very romantic after his illustrious career came to an end just a few years ago, but he still needs two-three seasons before making that step-up in responsibility and quality. Look at it from this perspective: what happens if he gets sacked, 12-18 months down the line?

He wants to remain there long-term, like Sir Alex Ferguson did with Manchester United or Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

That's not exactly how it works anymore. They will say whatever needs saying to get you in the door but once you're in, it's hunt or be hunted - not the right mentality for Frank to have at this stage of his managerial career. However, the big question is: will his heart rule his head?
