Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has claimed that Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has what it takes to become one of the best managers in the world.

The former Blues boss was reminiscing about his days at Stamford Bridge and was full of praises for the former midfielder.

Lampard succeeded Conte’s successor Maurizio Sarri last summer, and has impressed in his first season as a Premier League manager.

The Chelsea legend’s only experience prior to managing his former club came at Derby County, helping the Rams to the Championships play-offs final last season.

Many doubted Lampard’s managerial ability ahead of the current season due to his lack of top-flight experience, but the Blues are favourites to finish in fourth place, and Conte reckons he can go on to establish himself as one of the greatest tacticians in the game.
