Former Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi, discloses the strained relationship between Frank Lampard and then-coach André Villas-Boas during the 2011/12 season.
Obi explains on his podcast that Villas-Boas wanted Lampard to leave the club, but Lampard was reluctant.
This revelation sheds light on why Villas-Boas had a short stint at Stamford Bridge.
Notably, this isn’t the first time such tensions have been revealed, as former Chelsea defender Alex had expressed similar sentiments in 2012, emphasizing Lampard’s deserved respect and explanation due to his decade-long contribution to the club.
