Chelsea have held talks with former manager Frank Lampard as Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali consider appointing him on a short-term basis.
Lampard, who was sacked by Everton in January, was at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to watch Chelsea's 0-0 draw against Liverpool. He was not there as a fan, with the owners weighing up whether to appoint him as interim manager until the end of the season.
Chelsea sacked Graham Potter on Sunday following the 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa. Having also sacked Thomas Tuchel in September, they are now looking for a third manager of the season. Potter's assistant, Bruno Saltor, took charge of the team on Tuesday night.
