Frank Lampard's return to Chelsea startled Paul Scholes, but the former England midfielder believes N'Golo Kante can help him land the position permanently.
Following Graham Potter's dismissal, Lampard was appointed Chelsea's interim manager until the end of the current campaign.
Chelsea has been connected to Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino, and Luis Enrique, but the Stamford Bridge leadership does not want to make a hasty choice and will wait until the summer to name a permanent manager.
Lampard has played off rumours that he would be hired on a full-time basis, but if Chelsea improves its standing in the Premier League and performs well in the Champions League, Lampard's supervisors might decide to turn to the club's previous manager.
In order to follow in the footsteps of former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Scholes has advised Lampard to "grab his opportunity" at Stamford Bridge by securing a permanent contract.
Scholes told BT Sport, "I was a little startled [by Lampard's comeback], especially given the way everything finished at Chelsea." ‘ He didn't have a fantastic time at Everton, but you can't hold it against Frank; he needs to seize this chance.
Ole Gunner [Solskjaer] faced a circumstance that was fairly comparable. Ole, however, had a lot more time to establish himself.
Only 10 league games and the Champions League remain, but I believe Frank is up to the task. By the conclusion of the season, they had to hand it to him.
They have N'Golo Kante back, which is wonderful news for Frank. Although having only appeared in two games, he has a significant impact on the team. Chelsea has a chance if they can score goals.
Chelsea, who lost to Wolves 1-0 in Lampard's return to coaching, will play Real Madrid this week in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Former Blues midfielder Joe Cole supports Lampard's appointment and anticipates that he will'really galvanise' the team.
He remarked, "It makes perfect sense to me." "First of all, I'm disappointed for Graham Potter because he performed an incredibly difficult job while at Chelsea while maintaining a high level of decorum.
I typically lean on the side of giving managers time, but once it was decided to fire him, Frank could not have been happier. I'm extremely happy for him because he's going to really inspire the team.
Between July 2019 to January 2021, Lampard, who won three Premier League championships and the Champions League with Chelsea, was in command of the Blues for 18 months.
