Frank Lampard has made a ‘surprise’ return to Chelsea expressing his joy after being appointed caretaker manager on Thursday.
Lampard previously managed the Premier League Club from July 2019 until January 2021.
Chelsea has been in the bottom half of the premier league under Graham Potter who took over from Thomas Tuchel beginning last year September.
Potter was sacked after less than seven months in charge, winning 12 of his 31 games in charge.
“We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge,” Chelsea co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said in a statement.
“Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club.
“As we continue our thorough and exhaustive process for a permanent head coach, we want to provide the club and our fans with a clear and stable plan for the remainder of the season.”

Chelsea has nine league games remaining this season, starting with Saturday’s trip to Wolves, which is followed by the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against holders Real Madrid.
Lampard guided Chelsea to the 2020 FA Cup final, which ended in a 2-1 loss to Arsenal, during his previous managerial spell at the club, having joined the Blues after one season in charge of second-tier Derby.
