Chelsea assistant coach Gianfranco Zola is not surprised by his former team-mate’s success at Derby and says he is looking forward to welcoming Lampard back to Stamford Bridge.
“You can understand when somebody has a future in this position because to succeed as a coach you really need to have the ability to think over things.
“It seemed to me that Frank has always had this ability,” he said.
Welcome back, Frank! ?
