Chelsea's resurgence under Frank Lampard has been nothing short of impressive, with the London club now sitting third in the league standings with 26 points.
Eden Hazard, who spent nearly seven years at Stamford Bridge, has been keeping in touch with his old club and has now come out to praise Lampard's managerial credentials.
"I know Frank as a player, not as a manager, but he's a great guy. He's shown already after four months that he can be one of the best managers in the world," Hazard told reporters while on international duty.
Lampard has promoted a host of Chelsea youngsters, including Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount, and Tammy Abraham, who have played an important role in the club's resurgence.
Meanwhile, Hazard is yet to hit top form since his big-money switch to Real Madrid in the summer.
