Jamie Carragher thinks he knows Chelsea's new manager after quick Frank Lampard appointment

Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea's swift appointment of Frank Lampard as interim manager until the end of the season means they have a more permanent replacement for Graham Potter already lined up.

Potter was axed by Chelsea earlier this month after just 30 games in charge, following a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa that saw the Blues slip into the bottom half of the Premier League table. Lampard was then named interim boss just four days later and Carragher feels his appointment means Chelsea already have a new permanent manager ready to take over in the summer.

The former Liverpool defender suggested Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern less than a fortnight before Chelsea parted ways with Potter, is set to take over but simply "wanted some time out and to get ready for the summer and have a pre-season".
