The retired midfielder has not landed a job since he parted ways with Everton in January.
Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp has explained why Frank Lampard’s return to Chelsea will be a decent move.
Lampard has been tipped to take over at Stamford – on an interim basis until the end of the season – and Redknapp feels that will be the right move for the club.
"Knowing Frank as I do, he's an out-and-out winner. Nobody has more drive, more desire. Nobody's done more to reach the top and have a better work ethic as a player. I've got no doubt he'll do it as a manager because he'll never give in.

"There's not many other managers right now. There are a few names being talked about, so this might make sense for the owners just to give themselves a bit of breathing space and give Frank an opportunity to get back in the game.
"He's got unfinished business at Chelsea. He loves the club, and nobody knows it better than him. I think this is a complete no-brainer.

The football pundit also stated that the Reds’ struggles can only be cured by massive signings.
