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 said that Lampard is one of the most talented young coaches in the game. She said:

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Frank back to Chelsea as head coach. Frank possesses fantastic knowledge and understanding of the club.
