Ian Wright and Paul Scholes have named the two players who they believe will give Frank Lampard a chance to stay at Chelsea on a permanent basis. The 44-year-old was appointed caretaker boss on Thursday afternoon while Todd Boehly continues the Blues' search for a new head coach.
Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Carlo Ancelotti are among several managers who have been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer. Despite the challenges which Lampard will face in the coming weeks, Scholes backed the former Everton boss to succeed, highlighting the return of N'Golo Kante as a much welcomed boost.
The France international has recently returned from a hamstring injury which he suffered in August under Thomas Tuchel. Speaking on BT Sport, former Manchester United midfielder Scholes said: "I was a bit surprised [by Lampard’s return], especially with the way it ended at Chelsea.
