“Frank Lampard Ready to Share Club Insight with Chelsea Owners in Managerial Return”

The Blues legend has made a sensational return to Stamford Bridge for his second spell as the club’s manager until the end of the season, after Graham Potter was fired following a string of poor results. The ex-midfielder spent 13 years at the club as a player and claimed he could advise management ‘to find the right path’ as ​​he ‘knows the club’.

“The conversations I’ve had with the decision-makers and people running the club have all been very positive. You understand the club has a vision and wants to move forward. Of course, these are people who working in the right direction, collaborating, discussing and trying to find the right path. That’s the impression I got coming here,” he told reporters.

“Of course at the moment we are in a position where it is part of the process. It is very good. I keep saying the same thing, but I am ready to play my part in this process and I will be very honest and open with everyone. I know the club, I think it’s an advantage to step into this role now.”

Lampard was sacked by Chelsea in 2021 after a poor run of results and his spell at Everton also ended on a sour note last January after a 10-match winless streak.

The manager admitted he was keen to prove himself at the highest level and there was still an element of “professional ego” behind his return to south-west London.

And the interested party to continue: “Do you think that Antonio Conte is a bad manager when he has just left Tottenham? Do you think that Thomas Tuchel is a bad manager when he leaves Chelsea? I think the reality is always in the middle. We see it and it changes a lot,” he continued.

“I understand your point of view, and also from a selfish point of view, I want to do my best during this time because I have a professional ego and I want to be the best I can be.

“I see it, I feel it, but I can’t control it. I understand your point of view. I want to be as good as I can be. I want that feeling. I want to feel like I’m leading here, winning games. because there’s nothing better. There’s no doubt about it. That’s what I’m here for.”

Lampard will hope to start on a high note when Chelsea take on Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.
