Steven Gerrard speaks out on Frank Lampard following his sacking

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is one of the numerous people who spoke out on Frank Lampard after the 42-year-old was relieved from his managerial duties at Chelsea. Lampard and the Blues parted ways on Monday as the English manager's future was put under pressure due to Chelsea's recent form. The Blues are currently 9th in the league table with 11 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United. "Obviously I'm gutted for Frank, he's an ex-team-mate of mine, someone I respect greatly," said Gerrard on Lampard. "But knowing the guy, he will be back in no time. He will dust himself down and get back involved. He will use this time to spend with his family. He's obviously got a young family and one on the way. "I'm disappointed for him. I thought it was a very swift exit on the back of a positive result at the weekend (3-1 win in FA Cup on Sunday). "But I don't know the details. I don't know how it's been for him, I don't know the relationships that he's had inside the club. "I did think it was an opportunity for Chelsea to really reach out and support him during this tough period rather than do what they have done. "But Chelsea have got history for that so it was no surprise." source - Sky Sports
