Chelsea have appointed former midfielder and club legend Frank Lampard as caretaker manager until the end of the season following the sacking of Graham Potter. Lampard, who managed Chelsea for 18 months before being dismissed in January 2021, was spotted at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night watching the Blues’ goalless Premier League draw against Liverpool, just 48 hours after Potter’s departure.

Lampard’s return comes amid uncertainty over Chelsea’s long-term managerial plans, with former Barcelona and Spain head coach Luis Enrique reportedly in London for talks regarding the permanent role. The appointment marks an unexpected comeback for Lampard, one of Chelsea’s most decorated players, as the club looks to stabilise results and restore confidence during the closing stages of the campaign.
