Frank Lampard becomes interim coach at Chelsea FC

  • Frank Lampard has agreed to become Chelsea's interim coach until the end of the season. The final details are being finalized, 90min has learned.
  • The Chelsea legend has already worked for the club as a manager and player. In his long career at Stamford Bridge, he made 648 appearances and scored 211 goals.
  • Lampard was also relatively successful in his short time as a first-team coach, winning 52.4% of his games with a young Chelsea side.
  • Following the sacking of Graham Potter on Sunday, the Blues will now turn to Lampard once again - albeit temporarily.

as 90min has learned, the final details are being worked out to allow the legendary midfielder to serve as interim coach until the end of the season.

The decision to look for a new interim coach is reportedly due to Bruno Saltor's desire to leave his post. As 90min reported on Wednesday, Bruno wants to remain loyal to Potter - the man who helped him get into coaching after retiring as a player in 2019.


Crucial to the smooth running of negotiations was Lampard's willingness to return to the club where he spent 13 years as a player.


Although Lampard has accepted an interim role, it is said that he still sees himself as a manager and would like to find a permanent post, but he is more than happy to help the Blues for now.
