Mel Morris expects Frank Lampard to still be Derby County manager next season
Derby will spend the summer preparing for another season in the Championship after losing the play-off final to Aston Villa on Monday.
Lampard had a remarkable chance to get the Rams back to the top flight in his very first season in management, but fell at the last hurdle with a 2-1 defeat at Wembley Stadium.
Derby’s build-up to the game was plagued with speculation over their head coach’s future, with claims he is being eyed up to take over from Maurizio Sarri as boss of former club Chelsea.
Morris’ future in charge of the club has also come into question, with reports this season claiming he wants to cut costs with the view to sell, having branded the Championship a ‘financial disaster’.

But, even though he admitted second tier clubs are losing over £500million across the board every season, Morris has insisted he remains fully committed to Derby.
Asked about his future, the Rams chief exclusively told talkSPORT host Jim White: “I’ve always been committed and that will continue.”
And quizzed about Lampard’s future, Morris continued: “There has been no conversation.
“Frank Lampard, every time anything moves on the management side at Chelsea his name is always going to be mentioned by their fans. That’s always going to happen.

“One day maybe Frank will manage Chelsea, I don’t doubt that will happen at some point in the future.
“But I just hope when that does happen he can pick up Chelsea at a time where he can go on to be successful.
“Right now we want to keep him.
“We’ve got two years left on his contract and would obviously love to retain Frank’s services, and I’ve had no indication that’s not going to be the case.”
