Frank Lampard: 'Players give Chelsea stability'

Frank Lampard says that the Chelsea players have added stability to despite all the managerial changes.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has argued that the club's frequent managerial changes have been made up for by the stability added by the players.

The Blues look likely to welcome back Jose Mourinho, who was confirmed to be leaving Real Madrid, in the summer after Rafael Benitez's temporary spell in charge came to an end.

The Stamford Bridge outfit have been criticised for their sacking of managers in the past, but Lampard is adamant that the players are the ones who add the stability to the club.

"There is a real spine and determination in the team and everyone who comes in has to buy into the Chelsea way," Lampard said. "It started with Dennis Wise. John Terry has taken it on, I took it on, the Didier Drogbas and the Petr Cechs took it on. The new guys that come in have to take it on or ship out.

"Stability would be great. Look at Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] at Man United, we'd all like it that way, but whether you agree with the way Chelsea do it, the trophies are there for all to see.

"Look at us winning the Champions League last season. We didn't win it like Barcelona did beating Man United at Wembley [in 2011]. We won it with a real determination and it was the same last week in the Europa League. A winning mentality."

Lampard recently signed a new deal with Chelsea.
