Frank Lampard is not worried about the shelf life of Chelsea managers.

The 41-year-old knows all too well how managers come and go at Stamford Bridge, having spent 11 years at the club as a player.

Lampard became the 14th manager since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, and the former England international insists he will try and maintain the club's lofty standards.

He said: "Nobody can win the league year in, year out and have complete success but for me, that hasn't changed so when I do speak to the owner I expect him to demand the same things I demand of myself and the team.

"I don't know [if this club is impatient with managers]. The reality is that the owner has won 16 trophies in 16 years, a huge success, he runs it as his own desire, and his desire has always been for the best of the club.

"He has chosen me hopefully on that premise. I don't know whether it will change. I do think it is a reality of football. When I went into Derby everyone told me it was six managers in three years or whatever so you understand the pressures.

"My role now is to put that to the side. I wouldn't want to walk around every day, thinking at whatever's on the negative side."
