Lampard, after Ancelotti’s dismissal: He can work wherever he wants

Frank Lampard believes Carlo Ancelotti has the ability to lead any team in the world after news that Napoli fired his long-time Italian football coach.

The decision to dismiss Carlo Ancelotti had been expected for at least a week and was postponed to this point only because Napoli had the final match of the Champions League group stage at midweek.

Just hours after a 4-0 win over Genku, which took Napoli to the knockout stage, Ancelotti met with President Aurelio De Laurentiis at the Vesuvio Hotel and was told he had lost his post.

A statement was issued by the club then about the dismissal of the coach, who just hours earlier had said he would not resign. Chelsea coach Lampard, who played under the Italian at Stamford Bridge, suggested the 60-year-old would not find it difficult to find a new club.

“I have great respect for him, I’m really sorry for what happened. I know she’s been having a hard time lately. I watched his pre-match interviews and I think he showed his class during this difficult period,” Lampardi said.

“He holds himself brilliantly. I think he can work anywhere in the world at the highest level of football, of course.”

Gennaro Gattuso is now expected to replace him, who is reported to have accepted a contract by June 2021. According to Sportmedia, he will earn 1.5 million for the remainder of the season, while from 3 million euros. for other seasons.

However, Sky Sport Italia claims that the deal for Gattuso is only six months away with the option of automatically renewing if Napoli manages to rank among Italy’s top four.
