LONDON: Chelsea could turn to club great Frank Lampard to lead the team until the end of the season amid the search for a full-time replacement for Graham Potter.
Lampard was reportedly in talks with Chelsea on Wednesday about taking over as interim coach. He has been without a job since being fired by Everton in January after a year in charge.
It would mark another return to Stamford Bridge for Lampard, who played for Chelsea from 2001-14 — and became its all-time leading scorer — then managed the club from July 2019 to January 2021.
It would be a short-term fix by Chelsea’s American ownership, which has already fired two managers this season — Thomas Tuchel in September and Potter on Sunday — and is in the process of interviewing candidates for the permanent job.
