The ex-Nottingham Forest midfielder was pleased that Derby County have given Frank Lampard a chance.
Former Nottingham Forest man Jermaine Jenas has praised Derby County for taking a chance and appointing Frank Lampard.
Lampard was announced as Derby boss yesterday, and few people have spent as much time working with the Chelsea legend since retiring.
Lampard and Jenas were pundits together on BT Sport regularly, and the Forest supporting pundit could not help but wish his friend good luck at Pride Park.
Derby fans have expressed excitement about Lampard’s appointment, as they feel he could be an inspired choice.
Lampard has no managerial experience, but there is hope that he could use his wealth of talents within the game to attract talent to Derby.
Lampard has not taken an easy job at Derby by any means, as he could have to deal with financial constraints.
The Rams’ failure to earn promotion over the last campaign, has led to suggestions that there could be a clear out of many of their key players over the coming weeks.
And Lampard may have to rebuild the Rams’ squad this summer, to get them back in contention to make the top six again next campaign.
