For the first time in years, Frank Lampard took charge of a Chelsea pre-match press conference after being announced as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. It comes as a huge shock after a quick development in the story, which has allowed the hierarchy more time to make a decision over their next full-time appointment.
The first job for Lampard will be steering the side back into some form after their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa that ultimately cost Graham Potter his role. The Blues have an uphill task to make a European finish, but a win over Wolves this weekend will push them in the right direction.
"I think to attempt to instil the highest level of confidence I can with the group," Lampard responded when asked for his target before the end of the campaign. "For them to exert and show a level of passion of playing for Chelsea and an urgency and energy in their game. Those are principles that I really want to talk to players about. In terms of targets we want to win as many games as we can.
