Frank Lampard is delighted to be back at “my club”, with the returning Chelsea boss saying it was an “easy decision” to take an interim post. The Blues legend has returned to Stamford Bridge for a third time, and a second stint in the managerial hot-seat, following the dismissal of Graham Potter.
The former midfielder, who spent 13 years in west London as a player, has agreed to take the reins of Premier League giants on a caretaker basis through to the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
Lampard, who was relieved of his duties by Chelsea back in Chelsea 2021, has said of finding himself back in familiar surroundings: “Easy decision for me, this is my club. I’m also a very practical person. I’ve been on a different path since I left Chelsea but to come back when I’ve been asked and come back with a belief I can help until the end of the season. Delighted to get the opportunity and I’m thankful. I’ve a good understanding of the squad, the training ground, the stadium and the fans and I’ll do my best.”
