Frank was seen at Stamford Bridge in the goalless draw against Liverpool on Tuesday in Premier League.

Lampard’s last team that he managed was Everton, but he was let go in January. However, the legend of the London team was the head coach for almost 2 years from 2019 to January 2021, when Thomas Tuchel was appointed in his place.

All his staff was also part of his team when he was at the helm of Chelsea and Everton.

The Blues will seek to appoint a permanent manager after the season’s end to replace the sacked Graham Potter in the long-term project.

The favorites as of today are Luis Enrique, who managed Spain, and  Julian Nagelsmann, who Tuches replaced at Bayern Munich.
