Very rarely does football give a second chance to put things right, such is the harsh nature of the beautiful game; but sometimes circumstances just align. For Frank Lampard and Chelsea, there will be hopes that the match made in heaven won't turn sour like last time.
The former midfielder enjoyed an impressive career at Stamford Bridge as a player before returning as a head coach in 2019 for a spell. Lampard worked well with limited resources in his first year, but his second was far from ideal as Roman Abramovich wouldn't even spare a club legend from the brutal axe he wielded to his managers.
Plenty has changed since with two coaches and a new ownership all through the door since. However, things have come full circle as Lampard is the man in the hot seat once again. Albeit for only a handful of games, the ex-England international has been tasked with guiding the side until the end of the season.
