Frank Lampard’s Chelsea return has been engineered with the hope of bringing the feelgood factor back to Stamford Bridge.
The club’s record goalscorer has agreed to become the interim boss for the remainder of the season, following the sacking of Graham Potter. It is understood Chelsea chiefs have put Lampard back in the dugout as they prioritise a long-term appointment at the end of the season.
The 44-year-old was axed as Blues boss by the previous regime in 2021, but has answered their SOS call for the final weeks of the season. And there’s still plenty to play for, with Chelsea in a desperate battle to secure European football for next season - as well as the small matter of a Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid next week.
