Lampard Appointed as Chelsea Interim Coach

Frank Lampard was appointed, on Wednesday, as interim coach for Chelsea until the end of the season.

Lampard said that he will "focus on the job in hand" after being named Chelsea's manager.

Lampard's return was a surprising one to Chelsea, replacing the sacked Graham Potter.

The club said that Lampard will take the responsibility of coaching the team while the management start an "exhaustive process" to find a permanent boss.

Lamperd expressed "I want to do the best possible role I can and after that we will see what happens," adding: "I am not getting anywhere ahead of myself."

The first game for Lamperd will be with the Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday before a Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said: "We want to provide the club and our fans with a clear and stable plan for the remainder of the season.

"We want to give ourselves every chance of success and Frank has all of the characteristics and qualities we need to drive us to the finish line."
