Frank Lampard, the interim manager of Chelsea, has openly expressed his intention to return to the club as a devoted supporter in the future on numerous occasions.
Lampard's short-term contract is set to conclude on Sunday, following Chelsea's match against Newcastle in the Premier League. In his second stint as manager, the former England midfielder aims to secure his first home victory.
Unfortunately, Lampard has faced significant challenges since taking charge, with his team suffering defeat in eight out of the ten games he has overseen.
Despite his recent dismissal as manager in January 2021, Lampard, who amassed an impressive record during his 13-year tenure as a player in west London, did not make a prompt return to Stamford Bridge. However, he did make a comeback in April this year to watch Chelsea's goalless draw against Liverpool.
The 44-year-old has now provided an explanation for his absence and made a heartfelt commitment to be a familiar face among the fans. Lampard emphasized that he would always maintain a deep connection with the club's supporters, given his history as both a player and coach. He also noted that residing in close proximity to the stadium would enable him to attend Chelsea matches frequently. Lampard acknowledged that embarking on a managerial career does not guarantee an indefinite stay at a club where he spent 13 remarkable years as a player.
In summary, Lampard's departure as interim manager does not signify a permanent separation from Chelsea. He intends to maintain a strong bond with the club's passionate fans, supporting the team as a devoted follower and making regular appearances at Stamford Bridge.
