Premier League 2019-20: 4 managers who need quick results to keep their job safe

#4. Frank Lampard (Chelsea)

Frank Lampard

I had to think twice before adding Frank Lampard to this list given Chelsea's current situation with their transfer ban and the fact that Lampard was thrown into the deep end after just one year in the Championship with Derby County. After four games in charge, Lampard's Chelsea sit in 11th position with one win, one loss and two draws.

While that might not seem so bad considering it's just the start of the season, things are only going to get tougher and probably worse for him.

Despite being one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, winning countless trophies with Chelsea and knowing the club inside out, being the manager of the team is an entirely different thing. Lampard has never managed a club at the highest level, and while there is a very high possibility that he could be a success, he could also fail miserably.

Lampard is unlike any other manager Chelsea has hired, and deep down I feel he will be given sufficient time to prove himself. But the reason I chose to add him to this list is because of how unpredictable football can be and more importantly how ruthless Roman Abramovich can be.

The Russian is a winner and always wants to win trophies, and he could be open to giving Lampard sufficient time. However, should Lampard fail to deliver quickly, and should Chelsea struggle for the rest of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if they sacked him as well.
