Frank Lampard has agreed to make a stunning return as Chelsea manager for the rest of the season following an extraordinary day on which the club also held talks with Luis Enrique about taking over in the summer.
The former Spain coach is one of four candidates to succeed Graham Potter on a permanent basis, and Lampard has been asked to take charge of the club who sacked him two years ago on a caretaker basis.
He attended Chelsea’s goalless draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday as a guest of the club’s majority shareholder Behdad Eghbali.
Chelsea’s record goalscorer and former manager watched a sterile performance which did little to enhance the credentials of the existing caretaker, Bruno Saltor, one of Potter’s assistants who agreed to stay on following his sacking on Sunday.
Chelsea made a breakthrough in negotiations with Lampard on Wednesday afternoon leading to confidence that he could be in charge for Saturday’s Premier League visit to Wolves, which is followed by the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu next Wednesday.
The 44-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by Everton in January after just 12 months in charge, which followed an 18-month spell at Chelsea.
