Chelsea have confirmed the return of former midfielder and head coach Frank Lampard as the club's caretaker manager for the rest of the season. It comes after the dismissal of Graham Potter last week, with the hierarchy feeling the need for a change after a poor run of form.
Plenty of managers have been linked with the vacant role, with the need for an appointment that is the right fit becoming clear. The hiring of Lampard has bought them extra time to ensure they make the correct decision this time around rather than rushing into anything.
"It's a pretty easy decision to make. This is my club. In terms of my playing career and having coached here before," The caretaker boss said on his new role. "I have a lot of emotions and feelings towards the club. I'm also a very practical person. When you become a manager, you understand that you don't manage the club you say is yours forever.
