<\/p>\nLampard is 90 minutes away from ending Derby County\u2019s 11-year exile from the Premier League and can crown his first season in management, by beating Aston Villa in the \u00a3180million Championship play-off final on Monday.<\/p>\n
It is believed that Chelsea want their former midfielder to replace under-pressure Maurizio Sarri, after Wednesday\u2019s Europa League final against Arsenal.<\/p>\n
But hiss former England team-mate Bent, who played for both Derby and Villa, believes he would be better-served staying at Pride Park for another year, irrespective of whether the Rams go up or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrank has done a fantastic job, especially the way he\u2019s kept them believing when it looked like they were going to fall short of the towards the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a fine achievement for a first-time \u00admanager in his first year doing the job. I know there are \u00adChelsea fans who would put him in charge at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, and I would agree that Frank is \u00addestined to manage at the top level.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you are talking about a \u00addifferent animal at Chelsea \u2013 the step up is massive. We\u2019ve seen a lot of managers, who have been around a lot longer than Frank has, go there and fail. And we know it\u2019s not a forgiving club, \u00adpatience wears thin pretty quickly, and if you aren\u2019t winning \u00adtrophies within a year or 18 months, usually you\u2019re out the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to think that whether or not Derby are promoted on \u00adMonday, another year is not going to do him any harm in the long run,\u201d Bent told the UK Mirror.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
