Todd Boehly's decision to install Frank Lampard as caretaker manager until the end of the season has divided opinion. The 44-year-old looks set to return to the dugout ahead of Chelsea's clash with Wolves at the weekend, while further discussions regarding a permanent successor to Graham Potter continue behind the scenes.
football.london understands that the Blues have reached an agreement in principle to appoint Lampard as interim head coach until end of season. Chelsea have been heavily linked to both Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique recently but, with the club yet to make a decision, the former Everton boss has been eyed as a short-term fix.
After Lampard was spotted in the crowd watching Chelsea lock horns with Liverpool, Jamie Redknapp claimed that appointing the former England international is a 'no-brainer'. Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I was at the game last night and I saw him in the crowd and he looked like a guy that hadn’t just gone there for a few drinks.
