By Ayush Gupta | First Published Apr 5, 2023, 4:45 PM ISTChelsea is without a full-time club boss after parting ways with Graham Potter last week. Meanwhile, Frank Lampard was spotted during its recent home game against Liverpool, leading to speculation that he could return on an interim basis.
English giants Chelsea has been enduring a horrendous season, dropping to the bottom half of the English Premier League (EPL), whereas a European berth looks extremely dicey this term. It is without a full-time head coach, having parted ways with Graham Potter last week, which was its second managerial change after removing Thomas Tuchel earlier during the season.

He was in charge of The Blues between 2019-21 for 17 months, during which he failed to win a silverware. However, he had his best managerial numbers with the club, winning 44 of 84 and losing 23 besides drawing 17, with a win percentage of 52.4%. In the meantime, fans were delighted to see him back at Stamford Bridge.
