Profile

Paul Lambert is the manager of Stoke City, who he took charge of in January 2018.

Handed his first managerial appointment in 2005 at Livingston, Lambert then had stints at Wycombe Wanderers, Colchester United and Norwich City, before heading to Villa Park for arguably his biggest test.

However, Lambert endured a difficult tenure at Aston Villa, although he did save the club from relegation with back-to-back 15th place finishes.

The Scot took charge of Blackburn Rovers during the 2015/16 season, before activating a release clause in his contract after the campaign came to a close.

Paul Lambert Quotes

I'm never quite sure how far to go with praising young kids because the next thing you will see him probably driving a Mercedes and he'll have his socks over his knees and four earrings in and a Walt Disney hat.

I have been living with pressure most of my life, with the clubs that I have been at. This is a huge club (Aston Villa). You should have pressure all the time with amount of people who come to watch it. You should have pressure on your shoulders anyway. It`s not something I am going to buckle under. I could hide from it as a player!

I have loved it (pressure) for years. Does it affect me? Not really. The players and fans are my main concern. They are the most important people.
