In an unlikely twist of the most unpredictable of seasons at Chelsea, former midfielder and head coach Frank Lampard has made a return to the club. The ex-England international was appointed as caretaker boss on Thursday afternoon for the remaining stint of the campaign.
It comes after the Blues decided to axe Graham Potter after a tough run of form, with the hunt for a next manager now underway. The new ownership will want to get this appointment right, so with that exhaustive and thorough process underway, giving the role to Lampard should give them more time.
"It's nice to be back," the 44-year-old said in his pre-Wolves press conference shortly after the announcement of his arrival. "Easy decision for me, this is my club. I'm also a very practical person. I've been on a different path since I left Chelsea but to come back when I've been asked and come back with a belief I can help until the end of the season."
