Frank Lampard was appointed as Chelsea boss on an interim basis after Graham Potter was dismissed.
Arriving for his second stint in charge, the idea was to stabilize the team by inserting a well-liked and respected face. Safe to say, it has not worked out.

Big picture for Chelsea
Mauricio Pochetino has been touted as the likely man to take over in the summer but there has been very little movement on that front in recent days.
While Lampard who has lost all 6 games since taking temporary charge, might harbour ambitions of the job on a permanent basis, his performances so far have rendered that almost impossible.
Chelsea are safe from relegation but the focus must now be on finishing the season strong after a disastrous campaign.
