Lampard looks certain to be Chelsea's new manager but no deal has been struck

By
Derby are due to return to pre-season training on Monday but will Frank Lampard be there?
Lampard looks certain to become Chelsea's new manager after the Rams gave the Premier League side permission to speak to him last week.
However, there has been no official confirmation yet that Lampard has concluded a sensational return to his former club, leaving Derby's players in limbo.

Chelsea's new technical and performance advisor Petr Cech recently claimed Frank Lampard is not the only contender for the vacant manager's job.

He said: 'The club has identified some of the coaches they are dealing with. The situation is open, Frank is one of the candidates. I could speak about all the candidates with the leadership, they know my ideas.

'The first team will start the preparation, by that time we would like to solve the coach's question.'

Chelsea were given permission by Derby to speak to Lampard on June 25 but have yet to reach a total agreement to name him Sarri's successor.

The Blues have agreed to pay £4m compensation for Lampard though finalising his terms has taken longer.

Chelsea had hoped to appoint their former midfielder as successor to Maurizio Sarri by now but negotiations have dragged on and the 41-year-old, who has one year left on his contract, is expected to travel up to Derby to begin pre-season training.

Lampard will be joined by assistant Jody Morris and coach Shay Given — who are both expected to join him at Chelsea if a deal can be agreed.

Derby are due to reconvene after their painful Championship play-off final defeat to Aston Villa in May.

Chelsea also begin their pre-season preparations this week when a few first-team players who have not been on international duty join players from the development and youth teams at their training ground in Cobham.

Nine days later Chelsea kick off their summer schedule by heading across the Irish Sea to take on Bohemians at Dalymount Park.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
