The premier league football club, Chelsea has announced that a former player and manager of the club, Frank Lampard would take over as caretaker manager after the sacking of the club’s head coach, Graham Potter on Sunday.


Speaking at the unveiling on Thursday, Lampard said, “It was a pretty easy decision for me. This is my club, in terms of my playing career and having managed and coached here before. I have a lot of emotions and feelings toward the club.

“I’m also a very practical person. Obviously, I’ve been on a different path since leaving Chelsea but to come back at a time when the club have asked me to come and take the role, that’s the most important thing, but also with a belief that I can help the cause in this period to the end of the season.”

His first game as caretaker manager will be an away game against Wolves in the premier league on Saturday and a Champions League quarter-final first-leg match on Wednesday against Real Madrid.
