He's back.
FRANK LAMPARD’S reunion with Chelsea has been confirmed as he returns to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
The club announced that Lampard will return to his old stomping ground in a temporary capacity following the sacking of Graham Potter at the weekend.Lampard’s original 18-month spell in the Blues’ dugout ended with his own dismissal in January 2021, but he now has the chance to pick up where he left off and give Chelsea time to identify the right long-term successor.
The legendary Blues midfielder is available after being sacked by Everton in January, ending a disappointing reign, and was in the stands to witness Chelsea’s goalless draw against Liverpool on Tuesday in what now seems a telling appearance. Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said: “We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club. As we continue our thorough and exhaustive process for a permanent head coach, we want to provide the club and our fans with a clear and stable plan for the remainder of the season.
“We have an important game against Wolves on Saturday and then we will turn our attention to our Champions League quarter-final in Madrid next week. We are all going to give Frank our full backing as we aim to get the best possible outcome from all our remaining games.”
