Lampard has house around corner from Chelsea training ground and wife works in London, explains uncle Redknapp who says he will take Blues job
FRANK LAMPARD is a ready-prepared Chelsea boss with a house in Cobham and wife working in London, says uncle Harry Redknapp.
As revealed by SunSport, Blues legend Lampard is set for talks this week with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich on his £380million yacht, Eclipse, off St Tropez.
And Redknapp, 72, believes his nephew is destined to be in the Stamford Bridge dugout next season.
Former Tottenham boss Redknapp said: "He's a true legend at Chelsea, one of the greatest players in the club's history.
"It may not come along again, you never know in football, the opportunity is there for him to go back now.
"He has a house around the corner from the training ground, his wife works in London."
READY-MADE BOSS
TV presenter Christine Lampard, who married the former footballer in 2015, currently works on ITV's lunchtime chat show Loose Women.
Redknapp believes Lampard, who won three Premier League titles and a Champions League with Chelsea, is in a win-win situation.
He said: "If Chelsea come calling, it's a difficult one for him to turn down.
"In my personal opinion, he'll be the manager of Chelsea. It looks to me like it's going to happen.

"It's a no-lose situation unless he finishes outside the top six. Anything in the top six would be OK, but (qualifying for) the Champions League would be a good season.
"No one is expecting him to finish first or second, third maybe. If he makes the Champions League next year, he's going to be a success."
Derby owner Mel Morris has insisted the Rams are keen on retaining Lampard's services with two years left on his contract.
