Chelsea legend Frank Lampard returned to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager until the end of the season - but things have not gone well for him so far. The 44-year-old has become the first Blues manager to lose their first four fixtures with Lampard having already thrown away his chances of becoming the permanent boss ahead of next season.
Chelsea have held talks with Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann regarding the vacant managerial position at the club, with the latter emerging as 'favourite' ahead of the former Barcelona and Spain boss. Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern Munich last month, with Thomas Tuchel – ironically – replacing him at the Allianz Arena.
football.london understands the German is a serious contender to take the hot seat at Stamford Bridge but Todd Boehly will not rush the process of appointing a new head coach. Boehly may have actually made a brilliant move - despite results on the pitch not improving - by bringing Lampard back to the club.
