"Look, I'll be really sincere here on Lampard. I believe, given he was a legend at the club, he skipped some steps necessary for learning before moving to a big club," Jorginho told ESPN Brasil's Resenha.
"He came to a club where he is a legend, without having experience at other clubs. I think he came too soon, skipped a few steps ahead and wasn't ready for a job at this level, to be honest."
Lampard's first managerial role came at Derby County where he guided them to the 2019 Championship playoff final but suffered defeat at the hands of Aston Villa.
In fact, the former Blue managed only 57 games in a lower division before getting the Chelsea job. In January, the manager was sacked and replaced by Thomas Tuchel, who is doing a great job so far.
