It has been revealed when Frank Lampard will lead his first training session as Chelsea caretaker boss. The Blues have been heavily linked with various managers following Graham Potter's dismissal on Sunday evening but, with Todd Boehly keen to replace Bruno Saltor, the 44-year-old looks set to be at the helm until a permanent successor is appointed in the summer.
football.london understands that the west London outfit have reached an agreement in principle to bring Lampard in as interim head coach until the end of the season. Chelsea struggled to put points on the board under Potter, with the club slipping into the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Boehly will be hoping that Lampard can rejuvenate the Blues and ignite a late – and ambitious – last-ditch attempt to secure a Champions league qualification place. And, it seems as if the former England international's mission will commence this weekend.
