Frank Lampard wants his trophy-laden playing career to be considered for only a matter of minutes before he gets on with the task of managing Chelsea to further success.

The former England midfielder is back at Stamford Bridge having been appointed the club’s new head coach following a season in charge of Sky Bet Championship side Derby.

Lampard has signed a three-year deal to replace Maurizio Sarri after the Italian left to join Juventus in June, with assistant manager Jody Morris and first-team coach Chris Jones following him from Pride Park. Gianfranco Zolan, Sarri’s assistant, has left the club.
