Lampard is talented manager. You really can see his signature in terms of playing. Without having much time and spending money. I didn't expect to see anything close to this
So, Here's a question:
A mere 5 months ago, Lampard was manager of Derby County. Derby County, a very well-run club, are always in or around the promotion picture.
Lampard fails to get them promoted and was nowhere near automatic promotion. His team's football was not dire but also not spectacular by any means.
Yet, 5 months later, and Lampard's new team are looking great, and will probably make the top four, which means he will have been more successful in a tougher league in tougher circumstances amongst supposedly better managers than he was the year before.
So the question is this: Do you think that Lampard became this talented manager that learned about tactics and training from the ground up in the 5 months since he left Derby?
Or do you think that managers do most of their learning about coaching, tactics, human nutrition & physiology et al in the
years doing their coaching badges, but sometimes regardless of what you know, circumstances dictate it is harder to put what you know into practice at a club? (the club in this case being Derby)
The above applies for players to (sans the coaching etc...). Mason Mount being said player, looking even better in the Premiership than the Championship. Why is that?
