Chelsea Manager: Chelsea’s Russian Roulette with its managers doesn’t seem like it will cede anytime soon. After sacking Thomas Tuchel at the start of the season, new owner Todd Boehly decided to back Graham Potter at the helm. A lot of money was also spent on transfers from the start of the season and also in the winter window. Now, Potter has been given the boot too and Todd will need to hire yet another manager. In between all of this, it has been reported that Chelsea is considering Frank Lampard as caretaker boss for the rest of the season. Follow Chelsea Football Club LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

Frank Lampard made a shock return to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night as Chelsea battled against Liverpool in the Premier League. It seems as though this return could be until the end of the season. The Chelsea legend could even end up staying there as caretaker boss.
Chelsea Manager: HOMECOMING for FRANK LAMPARD?
After 48 hours of Graham Potter’s firing, former Blues manager Lampard was watching the goalless draw with Liverpool from the stands. Lampard might be selected by owner Todd Boehly to serve as manager through the completion of the current campaign.

In addition to becoming the club’s all-time leading scorer, Lampard spent 17 months as Chelsea’s manager before he too was given the boot. Frank was fired by Everton in January and has been out of work since then.
In control of the Blues on Tuesday night was Potter’s assistant Bruno Saltor, who acknowledged that he had never even chosen a team before.
