Chelsea are in talks with Frank Lampard to become the club's interim head coach as they continue to search for a permanent successor to Graham Potter, sources have told ESPN.
The 44-year-old has emerged as a potential short-term solution to take charge until the end of the season as negotiations remain ongoing with a number of candidates over the Stamford Bridge vacancy.
Potter was sacked on Sunday after less than seven months in charge and sources have told ESPN that the club initially identified between five and seven individuals to replace him.
The club have made contact with Julian Nagelsmann, sacked last month by Bayern Munich, and Luis Enrique, who flew to London on Wednesday for what sources describe as positive talks over the position.
