Chelsea are said to have "made contact" with Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo in their search for their next manager, according to reports. The Blues are on their hunt for a new head coach to take the reigns after Graham Potter was dismissed from his post last weekend.
Bruno Saltor took over for the 0-0 draw with Liverpool in midweek, but there was another twist in the tale as former midfielder and coach Frank Lampard was appointed as caretaker manager for the rest of the season. The ex-England international's return has given the hierarchy more time to make the right decision for their next full-time hire.
"It's a pretty easy decision to make. This is my club. In terms of my playing career and having coached here before," Lampard said in his first press conference back at Cobham. "I have a lot of emotions and feelings towards the club. I'm also a very practical person. When you become a manager, you understand that you don't manage the club you say is yours forever.
