According to Sky Sports via Tribal Football, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is only in charge as interim manager until the end of the season, and will not be in consideration for the permanent job.

The Blues are furiously working towards hiring a permanent manager for the start of next season and Chelsea co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, are in charge of the process.

Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique are believed to be favourites for the job.
