Derby County want Frank Lampard future sorted this week as they await Chelsea approach

Derby County want Frank Lampard’s future sorted out this week with the club still braced for an official approach from Chelsea.

Lampard is expected to succeed Maurizio Sarri as head coach at Chelsea, but the Blues have delayed formalising their interest while the 41-year-old has been on holiday.

Chelsea are aiming to make progress on appointing a new head coach this week, but Derby have been left in limbo while they wait.

Derby return to pre-season training next Monday and do not want Lampard’s future to overshadow their preparations for the new season.

Derby are concerned they will miss out on loan and permanent signings if the situation drags on much longer with players reluctant to sign contracts without knowing whether or not Lampard will be in charge.

The club have been approached by intermediaries pushing potential replacements for Lampard at them, but Derby cannot make any moves before they hear from Chelsea.

Derby have made it clear they are willing to hand Lampard a new contract after just one season in charge, during which he guided the team to the play-final, but there is an acceptance they will be unable to prevent him returning to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will have to pay Derby around £4million in compensation for Lampard and that figure is likely to rise with assistant Jody Morris and fitness coach Chris Jones set to follow him.

Chelsea players start returning for pre-season training next week, by which time the club will hope to have a new head coach in place.

Lampard played for 13 years as a midfielder, winning every domestic and European honour. He is the club’s all-time record scorer with 211 goals.

Derby County

Derby County can confirm that they have granted permission for Chelsea to speak to Frank Lampard about the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have told Derby they are willing to meet Frank Lampard's £4M compensation clause, according to Sky sources.

Frank Lampard likely to be unveiled as Chelsea manager this week after Derby grant permission for approach

Frank Lampard will complete a romantic return to Chelsea as head coach after Derby County granted the Premier League club permission to speak to their former midfielder.

Lampard is on course to be unveiled this week with negotiations expected to be concluded swiftly.

The 41-year-old will take assistant Jody Morris and fitness coach Chris Jones with him to Stamford Bridge, with Academy coach Joe Edwards expected to be promoted to the first-team coaching staff.

Derby had been left in limbo while Chelsea waited to make their official move for Lampard, but the Blues have now indicated a willingness to pay his £4million compensation fee.

A statement from Derby said: “Derby County Football Club can confirm that they have granted permission for Chelsea Football Club to speak to Frank Lampard about the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge.

“With pre-season fast approaching for both clubs it is hoped this will allow Chelsea to swiftly conclude their discussions. The club will make no further comment until it is appropriate to do so.”

Chelsea hope to formally announce Frank Lampard’s appointment in the next 48 hours

Frank Lampard will merge Chelsea academy with first team to encourage youngster development

Frank Lampard has agreed his Chelsea return and will signal his intent to give the club’s young players a proper chance by integrating them into his first-team set-up.

Chelsea’s record goalscorer finalised his contract to take over as head coach on Monday after Derby County excused him from having to return for the start of pre-season training.

Telegraph Sport understands that one of Lampard’s first moves will be to allow the academy players to mix with the senior professionals at the Cobham training complex.

Lampard will also instruct the youth coaches to vary training times, so that he can watch either after or before working with the first team.

Former head coach Maurizio Sarri did not watch a single academy training session and did not attend any under-23 games during his year in charge.

But Lampard’s plan is, along with his assistants Jody Morris and Joe Edwards, to watch as many youth games as possible and invite academy players to train with the first team on a regular basis.

For the first time since Andre Villas-Boas was appointed and split the first team and academy, youngsters will eat with the first team and use their gym.

Previously, academy players have been restricted to their own building.

The prospect of Lampard taking over has caused excitement at the academy, where staff believe their efforts will now be properly rewarded.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi made the breakthrough into Sarri’s team before suffering injuries, but the duo were the first home-grown youngsters to make an impact on the first team since John Terry.

That is despite the fact the academy has been rated the best in the land for the past decade and has produced some of the country’s most exciting talents.

A lack of first-team interaction and opportunities has seen many of Chelsea’s best youngsters fail to make the final step into the first team, but Lampard is determined to do all he can to change that.

The news will be a particular boost to Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Reece James and Fikayo Tomori, who have all returned from successful loans hoping for chances.

It should also help ensure that Hudson-Odoi signs a new contract and that the next batch of talented youngsters do not consider leaving over a lack of opportunities.

Morris already knows a number of the players hoping to make a senior breakthrough from his time as Under-18s coach, when he oversaw successive FA Youth Cup triumphs.

Highly-rated Edwards is set to be promoted from the academy coaching set-up to take a place in Lampard’s backroom team, which will provide another link between the senior and young players.

Lampard was excused from reporting for the start of pre-season training by Derby on Monday and Tuesday, as he finalised his return to Chelsea.

The former midfielder had been willing to start pre-season with Derby, but the club decided it was better for him and the players that he concluded talks with Chelsea.

In a statement, Derby acknowledged the fact that talks over the weekend between Lampard and Chelsea had been productive and that an agreement was imminent.

The statement said: “Derby County FC have excused Frank Lampard from reporting back for pre-season training on Monday and Tuesday to allow his discussions regarding a potential move to Chelsea to be concluded as soon as possible.

“The first few days of pre-season training will be focused on fitness training and will continue as planned under the guidance of the fitness, medical, conditioning and sports science teams at the club’s Training Centre.

“On the assumption that Frank will reach an agreement with Chelsea to become their new manager, the club shall step up its efforts to find a replacement manager.”

Frank Lampard to be new #cfc manager within 48 hours. 7 days of honest talks, with Abramovich and Granovskaia challenging Lampard’s readiness for the job, and plans to promote youth; Lampard demanded no special treatment but asked about the club’s vision, and expectations of him.

Frank Lampard to be unveiled as new Chelsea manager on Thursday
• Lampard returns to club where he played for 13 seasons
• Former midfielder has left Derby to take job

Frank Lampard was at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night to complete the formalities of his emotional return to Chelsea with the club set to confirm the appointment of their record goalscorer as Maurizio Sarri’s successor as head coach on Thursday.

The former England midfielder was pictured arriving back at the stadium where he spent 13 glittering years as a player before signing a three-year deal worth around £4m a season and to conduct interviews with in-house media confirming his return. Derby County, whom Lampard took to the Championship play-off final in his solitary campaign in charge, are understood to have received in excess of £4m in compensation for their manager, who will be joined back in south-west London by his assistant, Jody Morris, and fitness coach, Chris Jones.

Chelsea, who lost Sarri to Juventus last month after a difficult year in charge, had been granted permission to open talks with their preferred target last week, with the Derby owner, Mel Morris, putting the subsequent delay in completing a deal down to the 41-year-old having been on holiday. Lampard is believed to have received assurances from the owner, Roman Abramovich, in the period since that he will be given time to make a proper mark back at the club with Chelsea currently operating under a transfer embargo which will potentially extend through to the summer of 2020.

That will severely restrict the club’s ambitions in the market – they have secured Christian Pulisic and Mateo Kovacic already this summer, having lost Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, and have a number of loanees who have returned – though Lampard has already expressed an eagerness to tap into the potential of the club’s youth-team set-up to bolster his options. His appointment is likely to be swiftly pursued by confirmation that Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi have signed new five-year deals at the club.

As well as roles for Morris and Jones, Lampard is expected to promote the highly regarded Joe Edwards, who has been working in the academy and under-23 set-up, and Eddie Newton to his backroom staff. The latter has more recently overseen the progress of the club’s battalion of loan players.

The finer details of Lampard’s arrival were being scrutinised by lawyers at Stamford Bridge on Wednesdaynight but the new head coach is expected to face the media for the first time as Chelsea’s head coach on Thursday. He will take the skeleton squad who have already reported back for pre-season to Dublin on Friday, with his first game in charge to be Wednesday’s friendly against Bohemians at Dalymount Park, before a second fixture against St Patrick’s Athletic three days later.

A squad further reinforced by first-team players returning after extended summer breaks will then travel to Japan for subsequent games against Kawasaki Frontale and Barcelona before the end of the month. His first Premier League game in charge will be at Manchester United before Chelsea, as Europa League winners, compete in the European Super Cup against Liverpool in Istanbul.

Derby are expected to confirm the former Netherlands international Phillip Cocu as Lampard’s successor at Pride Park. The 48-year-old made an impressive transition from player to manager during his time in charge of PSV Eindhoven, and is a free agent after leaving the Turkish club, Fenerbahce, last October.
