Lampard returns to Chelsea

Apr 07, 2023

Chelsea have appointed former manager Frank Lampard as their interim manager.

He will take charge until the end of the season, following the recent sacking of Graham Potter.

Lampard says he will not get ahead of himself and expect for more, explaining that he will focus on the task at hand, rather than trying to secure the job full-time.

His first game on his return to Chelsea will be a trip to Wolves in the EPL, before a Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
