Chelsea adviser Piet de Visser hopes Frank Lampard stays at the club for a decade.
The Blues are on a six-match winning run following Wednesday's win over Ajax.
"Frank Lampard was like a brother to me when he was a Chelsea player. He and John Terry always took hold of me," de Visser told De Volkskran.
"Lampard is a special type. He doesn't talk much, but he is a boss. He sees football well. I followed him at Derby County.
"I wrote to Marina: fantastic football. Derby lost the final of the play-offs for promotion just from Aston Villa.
"The coaches at the academy are among the best youth trainers in the world. Lampard took a few of them into his staff at Derby County. They are back now and know all those young boys. That works perfectly. I hope that Lampard stays for ten years."
