Lampard said he gave his best to help turn Chelsea around within a short time.

‘I think Chelsea fans, and particularly the match-going fans, saw the situation that I came into. It hasn’t been easy to turn things around in a short time, that’s the reality, but I’ve given everything in this period and I’m really connected to this club for life.’

Chelsea finished this season at the 12th spot on the league table and wouldn’t be playing in the Uefa Champions League or the Europa League next season.
