Frank Lampard understands why no manager has taken the Chelsea job yet with the leading candidates waiting for the season to end before beginning work.
The Blues axed Graham Potter last month and placed Lampard in charge until the end of the campaign as they began their search for another permanent boss. Several names were identified but it now looks as if Mauricio Pochettino is poised to return to the Premier League.
The former Tottenham boss has been out of work since leaving PSG but appears to be waiting until the summer to take charge. Top managers often want a pre-season with their players, rather than being thrown in mid-season, with Lampard content that both the club and the incoming manager want to bide their time.
