Frank Lampard may be refusing to give up on the here and now, but his stint as Chelsea interim boss is quickly turning into a disaster that will go down in infamy.
The Blues legend was handed the job until the end of the season following the sacking of Graham Potter last month. There was the hope that Lampard’s return would spark somewhat of a resurgence, before making a permanent appointment at the start of the summer.
But to say it hasn't gone to plan would be the understatement of the century. Defeat against Brentford means the Stamford Bridge icon has now lost his first five games back in the dugout and scoring just once in the process. That has forced an accelerated recruitment process with Mauricio Pochettino expected to be named his long-term successor imminently.
