In an eerie similarity, Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge of Chelsea after Frank Lampard was sacked as manager in 2021 was against Wolves. Just over two years on and the Blues are once more searching for a permanent manager, this time Lampard is doing the saving role.
The club legend is back to bring vibes, freedom and some stern words for a big squad that are massively underperforming. Perhaps his biggest goal is more to reset the club a bit, bring back some mid-2000s Chelsea steel and simply buy Todd Boehly and Co some time.
No matter what his true goals are and where the club really wish to feel, he has already achieved what was necessary at the club in the eyes of most fans just by not being Graham Potter. The nature of the club was becoming toxic, the fanbase turning and the squad collapsing.
