As the BBC reports, Derby County is already in negotiations with its current coach, which would complicate the supposed Chelsea move that has been speculated by the press and players alike for weeks now.
But a new offer from the coach's club has reportedly made him hesitate. In turn, this has the Chelsea directors worried, and it seems it has been a cause of trouble in Turin too, where they were already waiting for Sarri.
A 'domino effect' that could make everything more complex for all teams involved. Lampard's promotion to the Premier League should not have prevented him from disassociating himself from the Derby, but things seem to have changed.
Meanwhile, Frank Lampard has argued that he felt he should return that confidence that the club had given him by caoching Derby County for another year. Turin and London are worried.
