Enzo Fernandez has told Frank Lampard how he would like Chelsea to play, with the 44-year-old set to take charge until the end of the season. The Blues have been heavily linked with various managers following Graham Potter's dismissal on Sunday evening but, with Todd Boehly eager to replace Bruno Saltor, Lampard looks set to hold the fort until a permanent successor is found.
football.london understands that the west London outfit have reached an agreement in principle to appoint the club's all-time top goal scorer as interim head coach until the end of the season. Chelsea struggled to establish an identity under Potter who, more often than not, chopped and changed the starting lineup in a desperate ploy for immediate results.
So, tactically, Lampard's duty will be to reinstate the Blues' identity on the pitch and to lay the foundations for whoever proceeds him. However, Fernandez has one request for the former England international; the 22-year-old is eager to play possession-based football.
