"Recent rumours of a disagreement between José Mourinho and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich have turned out to be true. The Chosen One has just been sacked by Chelsea.
According to our sources, the spat has been over the most coveted young talent, Mourinhos "Eiffel Tower", Paul Pogba. José declared that Abramovich either agrees to the purchase, no matter the price, or he walks.
Frank Lampard, who was already preparing to join his new team, New York City FC, has decided to hang up his boots and return to his beloved club, this time as a manager.
Critics claim it's a bold move, and it comes as no surprise that Chelsea board agreed to this on one condition. All contract and transfer activity is to be managed by the clubs Director of Football. Frank's focus is to be solely on player management, training and match tactics.
It appears that the club wants to retain more control over the transfer activities, which makes sense for Frank, who has not necessarily got the required experience and expertise in this field."
So I have decided to try something new. This is my first manager story, so I hope it goes well. It will involve a bit of role play, of one of my favourite footballer returning to his club to lead it as a manager.
There is also the element of me trying out the Director of Football challenge.
Let's see how it goes, hope you enjoy it!
Frank, having no previous experience, starts his coaching career with whatever he managed to learn along his long career as an international footballer.
I have faith.
