Robbie Fowler revealed Frank Lampard's reaction Mauricio Pochettino's exit at Chelsea in his column for the Daily Mirror.
He also shared his thoughts on Pochettino's sacking, claiming that more owners are feeling the need to sack managers.
"Unfortunately, more and more of them (owners) are unable to resist the impulse to sack the manager and give someone else a go," Fowler wrote.
"Chelsea owner Todd Boehly obviously felt that after lavishing more than £1billion in the transfer market, he deserved more bang for his buck.
"So Pochettino was toast, despite qualifying for Europe with a sixth-placed finish after five successive wins and just one defeat in 14. Chelsea also reached the Carabao Cup final and the FA Cup semi-finals.
“I was sat next to Blues’ legend Frank Lampard at the League Managers’ Association awards dinner on Tuesday night — and when the news broke that Poch had been sacked a look of utter disbelief spread across his face.”
