Former Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has instructed Todd Boehly to make Frank Lampard's return to Stamford Bridge permanent. The former midfielder was named caretaker boss for the remainder of the season on Thursday.
Lampard replaced Graham Potter after the Englishman was sacked on the back of the 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa. The process to appoint the next permanent head coach is said to be well underway with Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique amongst Boehly's shortlist.
However, Hiddink has urged the club to consider Lampard as the new permanent manager beyond his interim position. The Dutchman took charge of 22 games for Chelsea in 2009, in which Lampard played in 21 as they won the FA Cup.
