Davies: 'Lampard will have learned from Jose'

Davies belives that working under managers such as Jose Mourinho will have set Lampard up perfectly for life in the technical area. 

"He has worked for some of the biggest managers in the game. Even if he picked up one thing from each of those, it is going to be a lot more than a lot of us could have got and his insight is going to bring a lot," he told the club's official website.

"If he does pick up the phone - I'm not saying the manager will need any help at all - but I'm sure if he picks up the phone to Jose or any of the others for advice, I'm sure they would be very happy to help him."

Davies knows Lampard well from back in his playing days, and he had nothing but praise for his new boss. 

"The first thing I want to do is get my shirt signed. In all seriousness, I've played against him many times and he is just a good person. He is a winner on the pitch, so he's not going to not tackle you, because he wants to win games, but he is always a gentleman.

"He's honest and a nice person to talk to. As a young player to look up to he was definitely one that always did the right things on and off the pitch."
