Frank Lampard matches unwanted 35-year-old record after Chelsea’s defeat at Arsenal CaughtOffside

 

Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard has now suffered the humiliation of losing ten matches in a row in all competitions.

The 44-year-old may have been a legend as a Chelsea player, but he’s had two spells in charge of the Blues as a coach now and it hasn’t worked out for him at all.

Lampard has made a disastrous start to his second spell in charge of Chelsea, while he had also suffered a disappointing end to his time as manager of Everton earlier this season.

That means he’s become the first English manager since Arthur Cox in 1988 to lose ten games in a row, according to statisticians Opta…
