Everton fired him in January.
WHAT HAPPENED? Has struggled to persuade in the dugout WHAT HAPPENED? When an SOS call was issued to the Blues legend, he inherited the reins at Stamford Bridge for the second time in his coaching career.

Lampard has been unable to do so, suffering five consecutive defeats, and there have been rumors that he may struggle to find another role after previously been released.HOW THEY SAID IT: When asked about the criticism he continues to receive and whether he is concerned about his future in charge, Lampard told reporters, "I knew that within five days of coming back, we were playing Real Madrid away." And then you look at the early games we had - Wolves, where we had a day's preparation, and then Brighton and Brentford, who are two extremely difficult opponents. I was aware of it, and I don't believe you can live your life with those disadvantages and what they would imply.
My football playing profession has provided me with a level of security that I am not concerned about. All I have to do now is make decisions and enjoy my work. I'm not bothered about.THE BIGGER PICTURE: Lampard initially impressed as a tactician while at Derby, leading them to the Championship play-off final, but despite being a Premier League all-time great from his playing days and a man with 106 England caps, he has struggled to prove his worth at the highest level.
I want to win games right now, but I'm not thinking about 'what might this mean for me?' I can't overthink it."
WHAT COMES NEXT? Chelsea will return to play on Tuesday against London rivals Arsenal, with the Blues having six games remaining to try to climb out of the bottom half of the Premier League table.
