Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has already told Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly why appointing Frank Lampard as interim manager until the end of the season is a good idea. The Gunners head coach has spoken highly about Lampard in the past and urged Blues fans to remember what a good job he did during his time at Stamford Bridge before he was sacked.
Lampard has had some good things to say about Arteta in return, labelling the Spaniard as an 'amazing coach'. The 44-year-old was not given the same amount of time and support as the Gunners manager with the north London outfit now challenging for their first Premier League title since 2004.
Lampard looks set to be in the opposition dugout when Arsenal face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium later this month, with Arteta boasting a strong record against the former Everton boss. The Blues are set to continue their search for a permanent replacement for the recently-sacked Graham Potter, with Lampard coming in to bridge the gap until the end of the current campaign.
