Frank Lampard refused to be drawn into speculation of Mauricio Pochettino replacing him as Chelsea boss insisting the club’s season “is not over”.
Pochettino is the overwhelming favourite to be appointed as permanent Blues boss this summer after former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann pulled out of the race on Friday. The Argentine has been out of football management since his sacking at the end of last season by Paris Saint-Germain.
Lampard’s return to the Stamford Bridge dugout has proved to be somewhat of a disaster. The club icon – known for his incredible goal return from a box-to-box midfield role – became the first manager in the 118-year history of the Blues to lose each of their first four matches in charge of the club.
