Frank Lampard has become the manager of Chelsea once again, albeit for only two months. During his first season in charge, a list of strict fines was leaked which saw players punished harshly for indiscipline.
£2,500 was the amount that players had to pay for being late to arrive at Cobham, while arriving late for the training session would see the players fined £20,000. Moreover, these fines would double if they were not paid on time.
A look back at Frank Lampard’s strict fines from his first season in charge of Chelsea
Arriving late for a medical appointment also saw £2,500 being fined, while players that didn’t travel back with the team bus were also penalised £5,000 unless 48 hours of prior information was given.
It remains unclear whether Frank Lampard has returned to this strict list now that he is in charge of the club once again. But not much is expected from him this time around, given that the season is almost over for Chelsea.
They are currently 11th in the Premier League and look set to miss out on European football altogether next season. They are still in the Champions League, however, but are massive underdogs heading into the quarter final against Real Madrid once again.
Chelsea are taking their time to decide on a new head coach. Julian Nagelsmann appears to be the favourite, while the likes of Luis Enrique and Jose Mourinho have also been rumoured.
