Chelsea target Frank Lampard return as Liam Rosenior faces dismissal
Chelsea are preparing an approach to reappoint Frank Lampard as manager this summer, with current boss Liam Rosenior expected to be dismissed.
The former England midfielder is currently enjoying a stellar campaign in the Championship with Coventry City.
Having taken charge of the Midlands outfit in November 2024, the 45-year-old dragged them from the periphery of the relegation zone into the playoffs last season.
The Sky Blues now sit top of the second tier, boasting a commanding 12-point lead over Ipswich Town as they close in on Premier League promotion.
Coventry line up Derby boss Eustace
With Stamford Bridge executives circling, Coventry have reportedly identified Derby County manager John Eustace as their primary contingency plan.
Eustace has emerged as the leading contender to step into the dugout should their current head coach depart for west London.
It remains uncertain whether the Blues’ all-time top goalscorer would be willing to accept a third stint in charge of his former club.
Rosenior’s struggles at Stamford Bridge
Current Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has endured a difficult tenure and appears increasingly likely to leave at the end of the season.
The ownership group are seeking a long-term solution after a prolonged period of instability and regular managerial changes.
Despite his undeniable status as a club icon, bringing the ex-Everton boss back carries significant risk given his previous struggles in the top flight.
