Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says former players are treated differently as managers compared to coaches not previously connected with their clubs.
Chelsea meet Everton this weekend.
Lampard said: "When you've played for the club, I think people do look at it with a different viewpoint.
"I think in certain tough times it can be very casual and very easy just to refer back to the fact you were a player and that's why you got the job.
"That can be used against you and all you do is try and work against that. Whether it's myself, Ole, or anyone else in that position — it's not just us two that have taken that path, there are other managers.
"That's kind of just how I feel about it. But one thing you can't do is complain about it — you just get on with your job and I'm sure that's exactly what Ole is doing behind the scenes as I do every day here."
