Chelsea have appointed Frank Lampard as their new manager as the club legend makes a sensational return to Stamford Bridge. Lampard, the club's all-time top goalscorer, has signed a three-year deal to succeed Maurizio Sarri.
The 41-year-old had been the frontrunner for the job since it became clear Sarri would return to Italy after just one year to take over at Juventus, despite having just one year as a manager under his belt.
In a statement released by the club, Lampard said he was 'immensely proud' to return to Chelsea as head coach.
"Everyone knows my love for this club and the history we have shared, however, my sole focus is on the job in hand and preparing for the season ahead. I am here to work hard, bring further success to the club and I cannot wait to get started."
