Frank Lampard Reportedly Among Top Contenders for AS Roma Head Coach Position
Former Chelsea and Everton manager Frank Lampard is reportedly on the shortlist of potential candidates to take over as the head coach of AS Roma.
According to recent reports, the English football icon could step in to succeed current manager Ivan Juric if the Serie A club decides to make a change in its leadership.
The speculation follows an inconsistent season for Roma under Juric, prompting club management to explore alternative options to strengthen their prospects in the league. While Juric has made notable contributions since joining the Italian club, recent performances have reportedly left the club’s leadership considering a shift to bring fresh vision and new strategies to the squad.
Lampard, 45, is a familiar name in European football circles. A legend at Chelsea FC, he successfully transitioned into management, starting with Derby County before taking the managerial role at Chelsea in 2019. His tenure at Chelsea, however, was cut short in early 2021, and after a brief hiatus, he took over as head coach of Everton in 2022. Although his time with the Merseyside club was also relatively short-lived, Lampard’s experience in the Premier League and his tactical understanding of the game continue to make him a compelling candidate for top-tier clubs.
Roma’s interest in Lampard suggests the club’s desire to inject new energy into its roster, potentially aiming for a blend of youthful talent and seasoned expertise that Lampard could offer. Should the club officially approach Lampard, he could bring a more dynamic, attack-oriented style to Roma, aligning with the club's aspirations to compete at higher levels domestically and in European tournaments.
As the situation develops, Roma fans will be watching closely for any announcements that could reshape the club’s trajectory under new leadership.
