From London, the "Chelsea" team released Frank Lampard in January, and he may return to the English Premier League next season. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 42-year-old Englishman is actively being pursued by London's "Crystal Palace" club, which is likely to be looking for a replacement for Roy Hodgson in the summer. It is reported that F. Lampard has already planned his first purchase if an agreement is reached with the London club. According to reports, in such a case, Prague's "Slavia" footballer Abdallah Sima would arrive at Crystal Palace. F. Lampard began his coaching career in 2017, working with Chelsea's youth team. Later, the specialist worked at Derby County, and in 2019, he got the chance to lead Chelsea's main team.
