Frank Lampard has opened up after taking charge as Chelsea’s caretaker manager on Thursday.
Lampard will manage the side until the end of the season after Chelsea sacked Graham Potter on Monday.
“It is clear what the role is in terms of the title of the role, and I'm absolutely understanding that,” Lampard said.
“I want to do as well as I can in this period to show that I'm capable of coaching and managing really well. Then we'll see what happens.
“I've got no problems, I don't need answers to that point [about the future]. I've taken the job under these conditions exactly knowing what it is. Now it's just for me to do it very well.
“This is a club that I'm connected to so I just want to do well in this moment and then after that of course, it may mean that I say thank you very much, I think I've given everything there and hopefully it is positive. And that's it.
“I can't get ahead of my station at all. I'm just here to try to affect this period.
“From a selfish reason you want to do well in this period, because I have a professional ego where I want to be the best I can be.”
Meanwhile, owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were happy to see Lampard back at Stamford Bridge.
“We are delighted to welcome Frank back to Stamford Bridge. Frank is a Premier League Hall of Famer and a legend at this club. As we continue our thorough and exhaustive process for a permanent head coach, we want to provide the club and our fans with a clear and stable plan for the remainder of the season. We want to give ourselves every chance of success and Frank has all of the characteristics and qualities we need to drive us to the finish line,” the duo said in a press release.
“We have an important game against Wolves on Saturday and then we will turn our attention to our Champions League quarter-final in Madrid next week. We are all going to give Frank our full backing as we aim to get the best possible outcome from all our remaining games,” they added.
During his illustrious career with the Blues, Lampard won the Premier League on three occasions and a UEFA Champions League title. He managed the club for 84 games during his first stint with the club between 2019 and 2021.
