• Frank Lampard, who took over on a temporary basis has hinted he would be open to becoming the club's permanent boss

Frank Lampard has hinted he could be open to becoming Chelsea's permanent boss at the end of the season.

The legendary manager was named the Blues' caretaker manager on Thursday, replacing Graham Potter who was sacked last Sunday.

Lampard's appointment saw him make a sensational return to Stamford Bridge just two years after he was shown the door at the club and succeeded by Thomas Tuchel.

According to The Mirror, the former Everton boss will be in charge of the west Londoners for the remainder of the season as the 2021 Champions League winners hunt for Potter's substantive successor.

With a top-four finish almost out of sight, the publication claims Lampard's immediate assignment will be steadying the ship for the remainder of the campaign before club owner Todd Boehly decides on what direction he would like the club to take.

Lampard open for permanent role

While Lampard is fully aware of his terms of service, the former Chelsea captain has hinted he would be open to becoming the club's permanent manager at the end of the season.

"I am not getting ahead of myself in my role," Lampard admitted via The Independent.

"I want to do the best I can to impact the club in this period and we will see what happens afterwards," he added.

Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann have been touted as the frontrunners for the Stamford Bridge job.
