Pep Guardiola reacts to Frank Lampard re-appointment as Chelsea Coach; reveals private chat he had with him before taking up Chelsea job.

 Pep Guardiola has reacted to Frank Lampard's re-appointment as Chelsea Coach while revealing he had messaged him while he was at Everton. 

Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola has reacted to Frank Lampard's re-appointment as Chelsea Manager. The Chelsea Legend was appointed as interim caretaker to replace the recently sacked Graham Potter, and interim Head coach, Bruno Saltor until the end of the season. 

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of City vs Southampton, Pep gave his honest verdict on Lampard's return to a poorly performing Chelsea; while re-iterating he had kept in touch with him while at Everton:

"It is good to see him back, it’s a new opportunity at the club he loves and a new challenge for him. In this country when I was younger it always had the tradition to keep the managers.

"What happens today with a lot of pressure for everyone, a lot of investment, in a way I understand there’s a lot of pressure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It is what it is, you have to adapt.

 "We were in touch when he was at Everton."

Chelsea's start to life under Frank Lampard however, has been short of what was expected. The Blues lost 1-0 to Wolves on Saturday, in what was his first game in charge. 

They face Real Madrid on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen how the Blues will turn things around against an in-form Los Blancos side.

Antonio Conte tells Tottenham to hijack deal for Chelsea target.

 Antonio Conte has told Tottenham to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star. Per Tuttomercatoweb, Antonio Conte has asked Tottenham to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender, Piero Hincapie who is also a Chelsea target.  Hincapie, 20, featured in three of Ecuador's opening games in the world cup and his impressive performance for both club and country has attracted interest from both London clubs.  Chelsea are said to be in the market for a left-sided central defender and per reports, have opened talks with the likes of Josko Gvardiol and AS Monaco's Benoit Bardiashile, but Hincapie is also a player of interest.  The Blues could now face stiff competition from Tottenham as Spurs boss Conte has identified Hincapie as a player who would suit his style of play.
