Frank Lampard still regards Antonio Conte as a “fantastic manager”\u00a0but admits Chelsea may well need a change in coach to fix the mentality surrounding the team.<\/p>\n

Conte\u2019s first year saw him restore Chelsea to glory, winning the Premier League title after a 10th place finish the year before.<\/p>\n

However, the Italian\u2019s second season\u00a0was a struggle, as the team suffered through a dip in form that saw them crash out of the Champions League and fall in the table.<\/p>\n

A late charge for a Champions League spot ultimately fell short, leaving the FA Cup final against Manchester United the Blues only chance at silverware this season.<\/p>\n

And though Lampard, who spent 13 seasons with Chelsea, has no doubts about the job Conte has done for the club, he knows it may be time for the relationship to come to an end as the mood surrounding the club has turned negative.<\/p>\n

“I think Conte is a fantastic manager,\u201d Lampard told Goal\u00a0during the BBC Media Day. \u201cHe’s been brilliant for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year has been seen as disappointing, but what he did last year was an absolutely incredible achievement. So, that discussion is going to happen this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need next year for Chelsea is positivity. Looking forward and excitement for what the future holds. This year\u2019s been too negative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf either one wants out of that love affair, then that\u2019s going to be a parting of ways.”<\/p>\n

Regardless of Conte\u2019s eventual fate, which the manager believes has not yet been decided, Chelsea do have a chance to redeem their season slightly if they can defeat rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Lampard sees a great deal of similarities between the two sides, in their impressive collection of stars as well as their recent dips in form.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a tough game,\u201d Lampard\u00a0said. \u201cI think it\u2019s a hard one to call.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s two teams that have not been at their best in recent weeks in terms of performance. But two teams that have big players that can win games.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I expect it to be a tight final and I\u2019m hopeful Chelsea win, with my Chelsea hat on.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
