One of the greatest and most successful players at English Premiere league, EPL club, Chelsea, Frank Lampard has returned as a manager.
Chelsea made the announcement of appointing Lampard as their new head coach at Stamford Bridge via their official website on Thursday morning.
According reports confirmed by hotjist.com , the announcement which should have been made earlier on Wednesday, was delayed due to the social media platforms that were glitching.

‘I am immensely proud to be returning 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.’
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added:
‘It gives us great pleasure to welcome Frank back to Chelsea as head coach. Frank possesses fantastic knowledge and understanding of the club and last season, he demonstrated he is one of the most talented young coaches in the game.
‘After 13 years with us as a player, where he became a club legend and our record goalscorer, we believe this is the perfect time for him to return and are delighted he has done so. We will do everything we can to ensure he has all the support required to be a huge success.’
