NEW DELHI: Days after the sacking of Graham Potter, Chelsea on Thursday announced the reappointment of Frank Lampard as their manager.
Lampard will be Chelsea's caretaker manager until the end of the season, the club said.
Owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said they were "delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge".
Lampard, Chelsea's record goal-scorer previously spent 19 months as manager. The 44-year-old was removed by the club in January 2021.
"We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club," co-controlling owners Boehly and Eghbali said in a statement on the club's website.
"As we continue our thorough and exhaustive process for a permanent head coach, we want to provide the club and our fans with a clear and stable plan for the remainder of the season.
"We want to give ourselves every chance of success and Frank has all of the characteristics and qualities we need to drive us to the finish line."
