Frank Lampard has now shared the three players he coached at Chelsea who he’s really proud of right now.

He told ‘Stick to Football’ that some of the academy graduates he took charge of at Stamford Bridge are those who have made him proudest with what they have gone on to do so far.

Lampard has had two spells as manager at Chelsea, with his first time in charge being far more successful than last season.

Taking over a side that had just sold Eden Hazard, he brought through a number of young players who immediately made an impact on the first team.

He has now claimed that introducing Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Reece James to the first team has left him proud looking back.

He said: “If I look back through my managerial career I have had big wins which have given me more fulfilment than any of my playing days. Fortunately enough I won stuff in my playing days, whether it was because of Drogba or me, or John Terry.

“I was in a great squad. But when you are the manager you feel the responsibility of getting Derby to the play off final, we beat Leeds who were probably a better team than us. You feel the extent of it.

“And keeping Everton up in the league, that night because of living in the city and the Evertonians were so desperate to stay up, being a bit of a head figure in that moment. Massive enjoyment.

“Then you get the day to day of working with young players at Chelsea and you feel links and proud of Reece James, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham. Players who have gone on to do good things.”

James is currently captain of the club, however has missed a large portion of this season due to his injuries.

Mount looked set to be the future of the club, however that didn’t play out when it became clear that he wasn’t interested in signing a new contract, instead moving to Manchester United.
