Odds significantly shorten on Derby County boss Frank Lampard taking over at Chelsea
Lampard was made the 1/6 favourite to become the next manager at Stamford Bridge cut from 1/4 but even the new shorter odds were big enough for some, and BoyleSports have slashed the price into 1/25 after the Sarri news broke. The two clubs reached an agreement for the early termination of Sarri’s contract with Chelsea FC which had two years left to run and is ending at his request.Chelsea secured their first trophy under Maurizio Sarri last month after they made light work of Arsenal in a 4-1 victory at the Olympic Stadium in Baku in the first all-English Europa League final since 1972. BoyleSports introduced Chelsea at 25/1 for the 2019/20 Champions League and 20/1 for the Premier League but have since been cut into 18/1.
