The fact that they chose him as an Interim manager until the end of the season speaks volumes. Chelsea are probably seeing beyond him for the next main manager. The current problem at Chelsea I think is the lack of patience. A manager who wants to build a team with his own philosophy needs time and at Chelsea, they don't care about giving someone enough time.
Lampard is the not kind of Coach that can turn things around within the remaining months.
The appointment of Lampard as Chelsea interim manager is not too surprising, Lampard's relationship with Chelsea is very close and Lampard's status is still unemployed. Lampard must take advantage of the opportunities Chelsea have provided him, his performance as an interim manager could see him appointed as a permanent coach if Chelsea management are satisfied with his work.
Other top coaches have started to be linked with Chelsea, Luis Enrique, Zidane and Nagelsmann are a series of names who will become Chelsea coach candidates the following season. Lampard can put himself in the ranks of these top coaches as long as his performance exceeds the club's expectations.
