An official statement from Chelsea has sounded out that Lampard will be taking over as the caretaker manager in the club’s all-time leading goalscorer’s return to the Bridge two years after he was sacked from the top job.
The former England midfielder had been out of a job since Everton sacked him earlier this week with the Toffees again in danger of relegation and Chelsea have now brought in Lampard to steer them through troubled waters for the next couple of months.
Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique remain the favourites for the Chelsea managerial position come this summer with reports suggesting that the latter had travelled to London to hold further talks with the Blues board.
