Football enthusiasts in Nigeria have taken to social media to react to the dismissal of Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager.
Lampard, who returned to Stamford Bridge as a manager in July 2019, was sacked on Monday due to the club’s poor run of results in the Premier League.
Although Chelsea advanced in the FA Cup on Sunday following a 3-1 win over Luton Town, the Blues are ninth in the English top-flight table with just two wins in their last eight league matches.
Lampard’s sack did not come as a surprise to Nigerians because they believe the club’s ambition is paramount even though the former club captain needed more time to succeed.
