Former Chelsea captain John Terry has sent a three-word message to ex-teammate Frank Lampard on his return to the club as caretaker manager for the season. The latter previously took charge of the Blues from 2019 to 2021, with unfinished business to resolve before the end of the campaign.
Lampard takes over from Graham Potter, who had struggled after taking over from the highly popular Thomas Tuchel before him. After a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend, the decision to replace the underperforming boss was made as the search for a new head coach began once again.
"No, but I think the role and the explanation of my role speaks for itself in the period that I'm here for," caretaker boss Lampard said on whether he was told that the role was strictly for the season. "On that term, I'm not getting anywhere ahead of myself. I want to do the best possible role that I can impact the club in the best way in this period. After that, we'll see what happens."
