I’m witnessing Super Frankie Frank Lampard’s arrival at Stamford Bridge!!! Welcome Home Legend!!! 2019/20… https://t.co/iSrVpp7jTn (@Thiban_ben)
He has been snapped getting out of his car just outside of Stamford Bridge, with the Derby County manager on the verge of joining his former club.
Lampard took over at Derby last summer, his first job in management, and led them to 6th in the Championship before losing in the play-off final at Wembley to Aston Villa.
The former midfielder will now be tasked with getting the best out of a Chelsea squad that has just lost Eden Hazard, with a transfer ban also imposed upon the club.
Chelsea have been on the lookout for a new manager ever since Maurizio Sarri decided to join Italian giants Juventus last month – having won the Europa League with the Blues last term.
