Chelsea confirms the appointment of Frank Lampard until end of the season

Chelsea FC have made an official statement of reappointing former manager Frank Lampard as an interim manager who will guide the club until the end of the season. Chelsea fired Lampard in January 2021 following a poor campaign in 18 months in charge.

His successor Thomas Tuchel was fired and was replaced by Graham Potter. Things got even worse during Potter’s four months reign, and he was eventually sacked and is now replaced by Frank Lampard.

“Chelsea FC has announced that Frank Lampard has been named Caretaker Manager until the end of the season.

The move marks a return to Stamford Bridge for Frank, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career with the Blues, winning the Premier League on three occasions and the UEFA Champions League in Munich. He managed the club for 84 games, including guiding us to an FA Cup final.”

Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said:

‘We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. 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. We want to give ourselves every chance of success and Frank has all of the characteristics and qualities we need to drive us to the finish line.

‘We have an important game against Wolves on Saturday and then we will turn our attention to our Champions League quarter-final in Madrid next week. We are all going to give Frank our full backing as we aim to get the best possible outcome from all our remaining games.’
