Special One earned 4-times better payoff than Lampard

 

Jose Mourinho enjoyed a payoff more than four times the amount Frank Lampard got for being sacked by Chelsea, it has been revealed.

Both managers have joined an ever-widening club of coaches axed by Roman Abramovich.

Lampard’s dismissal came earlier this week after a run of two Premier League wins in eight matches.

It saw Chelsea drop down as low as 10th in the table  not what the Blues owner envisaged after splashing out over £220m in the summer

Thomas Tuchel has since stepped in as replacement and has been tasked with taking Chelsea back in the top four.

Despite their low position in the table, they are seven points off a Champions League spot. Lampard who was number 14th in the Chelsea’s ugly list of managerial change under owner Abramovich at Stamford Bridge received

considerably less compared to the other coaches that came and went under the Russian’s eye, many of whom worked with Lampard as a player.

Only Rafa Benitez and Guus Hiddink received less, who came to the end of their interim contracts.

On the contrary, Mourinho was handed £8.3m after being sacked for a second time at Chelsea – but that is just a fraction compared to his first stint.

In 2007, rampant Roman handed The Special One £23m to leave the coaching staff which remarkably is not even the most spent on dismissals from the oil tycoon.

That accolade belongs to Antonio Conte, who won Chelsea their last Premier League title in 2017.

A messy end to his time in west London eventually saw the Italian sacked and given £26.6m even as he took the club to court for more.
