Frank Lampard will return to the Chelsea dugout on an interim basis just two years after he was sacked. The Blues legend was replaced by Thomas Tuchel after enduring a difficult first half to the 2020/21 season with the club struggling down in ninth.
Lampard's return to Stamford Bridge was announced on Thursday, coming in to replace Graham Potter until the end of the season with Todd Boehly still searching for a new permanent manager to appoint. Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart are thought to be leading the manager search, with Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique leading the race to become Potter's permanent replacement.
The former Brighton boss lasted just six months in charge of Chelsea after suffering the same fate as Tuchel in the same season. Potter won just 12 of his 32 games during his tenure, with Bruno Saltor having taken charge of the Blues' 0-0 draw against Liverpool on Tuesday night.
