Former Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud, has advised his former manager at Chelsea, Frank Lampard to accept the managerial role at Engish Premier League side, Newcastle United if the opportunity arises.
The AC Milan forward feels the job will give the Chelsea legend the opportunity to ‘bounce back’ and prove his ‘quality’.
Lampard has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Steve Bruce, who looks set to be replaced following the taking over of the Magpies by Saudi cash kings this week.
