- Lampard could be in charge on Saturday at Wolves
- Luis Enrique in London and vying with Nagelsmann for job
Chelsea are close to appointing Frank Lampard as their interim manager in what would be a stunning return to Stamford Bridge. As the club continue to search for a permanent replacement for Graham Potter, Lampard is ready to help on a short-term basis at Chelsea where he played for more than a decade and was sacked as the head coach in January 2021.
Chelsea are progressing their hunt for a longer-term solution by holding discussions in London with Luis Enrique, who is vying with Julian Nagelsmann for the job. But it would suit the club to have a more experienced interim manager than Bruno Saltor, who was put in charge after Potter’s departure on Sunday, and Lampard is expected to be in the dugout for Saturday’s game at Wolves.
