Inside Frank Lampard's first Chelsea stint with board issues and no player communication

Frank Lampard is back among familiar surroundings at Chelsea, but much has changed in the 27 months since he was sacked as manager.

Lampard was appointed Blues boss for the second time on Thursday, given the reins until the end of the season after Graham Potter went the same way as Thomas Tuchel. The 44-year-old is delighted to be back in the game a few months on from being sacked by Everton.

His status as club legend remains undisputed and, while many of the players remain the same, the hierarchy has changed. Co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have taken over from the familiar face of Roman Abramovich, while key players Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck have been replaced by sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
