IN THE OPPOSITION DUGOUT



Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not be the only Premier League legend in the technical areas when Chelsea visit Old Trafford for our opening game of the season; the West London club appointed their all-time leading scorer Frank Lampard as the new boss on Thursday.



The 41-year-old has left Championship side Derby County to take over the Blues, where he spent 13 years as a player. He succeeds Maurizio Sarri after the Italian left Chelsea in June to take charge of Juventus.



“I am immensely proud to be returning to Chelsea as head coach,” said Lampard in a statement. “Everyone knows my love for this club and the history we have shared.



“However, my sole focus is on the job in hand and preparing for the season ahead. I am here to work hard, bring further success to the club and I cannot wait to get started.”
