It has been revealed who will join Frank Lampard in the Chelsea dugout, with the 44-year-old closing in on a return to Stamford Bridge. Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday evening following defeat to Aston Villa as the Blues slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The west London outfit have been heavily linked with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique. But, with Todd Boehly eager to replace Bruno Saltor ahead of the weekend, it appears that Lampard will be drafted in to see out the remainder of the season while further discussions proceed behind the scenes.
football.london understands that Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle to appoint the Blues hero as interim head coach until end of season. Previously when Lampard replaced Maurizio Sarri in 2019, he pulled together a five-man coaching team which consisted of Jody Morris, his assistant, Eddie Newton, Chris Jones, Joe Edwards and Henrique Hilario.
