Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich never spoke to Frank Lampard over his 18 months as manager, it has been revealed.
The Russian oligarch appointed club legend Lampard in the summer of 2019 but the axe fell last week after a run of poor results.
The Telegraph says Abramovich never personally spoke to Lampard during his year and a half managing the club.
Instead all communication came via his No2 Marina Granovskaia, who effectively runs the club for Abramovich.
The report also claims Lampard’s appointment was viewed by many at the West London club as a ‘convenient stopgap’ to keep the fans happy during their transfer ban and the sale of star player Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
It also claims Lampard, 42, himself thought that was the case.
