The departure of Maurizio Sarri was far from a surprise.
The Italian has left his role as Chelsea manager after being confirmed as manager of Italian giants Juventus.
Despite winning the Europa League and finishing third in the Premier League, Sarri's methods left fans somewhat divided with many not quite taking to his infamous 'Sarri-ball' approach.
While it paid dividends in the end, it was always key that Chelsea were united going into the new season.
That means there was only ever going to be one man who fans would want to replace him, and that's Frank Lampard.
The Derby County manager has been widely linked with the now-vacant role in west London, with the club legend expected to be announced as Sarri's replacement sooner rather than later.
While fans were grateful for the job done by the former Napoli boss, they responded in unison with calls for who they'd like to see in the dugout at Stamford Bridge next term.
