Wilder backs Lampard to be Three Lions boss

-

CHRIS WILDER believes Frank Lampard is an England manager in the making.

And he says the Chelsea legend would be as successful in picking a Three Lions team as he was playing in one.

Lampard’s achievemen­ts over a 15-year career with the national side make for impressive reading.

He scored 29 goals in 106 appearance­s before calling time on his internatio­nal career back in 2014. Former midfielder Lampard, 41, is

Vback at Stamford Bridge in charge of the Blues after a stunning entry into management with Derby 15 months ago. He guided them to the Championsh­ip play-off final, which they lost to Aston Villa in aWembley thriller.

Lampard is now plotting another period of success for Chelsea with Sheffield United boss Wilder, whose newlypromo­ted Blades take a trip to the Bridge today,

predicting: “It’s 100 per cent certain for me that Frank can be a future England manager.

“He has already showed he has all the attributes to be a top manager and take his career further. He did brilliantl­y at Derby, and I’m backing him to do the same with Chelsea.”
