Chelsea are in course to finish in the top 4 in Frank Lampard’s first season in charge after picking up 14 points from 8 opening Premier League games.
The 41-year-old signed a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge in the summer with a £5 million-per-year salary.
This puts the ex-midfielder among the 10 highest earning Prem bosses, though Lampard is still far behind Pep Guardiola and his mammoth £20 million annual salary.
