Former Chelsea star Bolo Zenden is convinced Frank Lampard can be a success in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Zenden, who joined the Blues from Barca in 2001 the same year Lampard arrived at Stamford Bridge from West Ham insists his old team-mate is ready for the job and that he can be a success.

The Dutchman, who was assistant to Rafa Benitez during his spell as interim manager in the 2012-13 season, said: I know Frank did very well at Derby County, so it was a good time for him to go to Chelsea.

(Pep) Guardiola was only young when he was appointed at Barcelona, so I don't see why this is any different.

He can do well, he is a clever guy and earned his stripes as a player. Who knows how it will go? But he is bright and deserves a chance."
