Former Chelsea boss Avram Grant has taken to Instagram to offer Chelsea boss Frank Lampard a two-point plan to keep his job.

Grant managed Lampard during his time as Chelsea boss and knows just how brutal Roman Abramovich’s regime is.

He said on social media: “About the current situation I can say only this. You need to be strong when things are not going well, when things are going well everyone is a genius and knows what to do.

“But in the situation like this when things aren’t going well you need to be strong, look for solutions and show a lot about your character.”

Grant added: “What I can say to Frank and the others at the club is be patient, and more than this do whatever is necessary to do that’s for sure. Two things: never lose it even when things are going well, don’t lose your fighting spirit at the highest level.

“And second, don’t lose what you have here [points at head] you need to think right and look for solutions. If you do that then everything will be okay because the quality is there and there is a potential like there was [at Chelsea] in my time.”
