Now, it is being claimed that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is considering bringing Avram Grant back to the club, not as a manager, but with a different role in mind.

However, Lampard has dismissed any sort of concerns over the speculations, insisting that any appointment wouldn’t impact his position.

“I don’t know anything about it so I prefer not to go any further with it. So I don’t want to hang on exactly what it means because in a modern football club there are different roles for different people up and down the club. Sometimes a great line of communication to your board or an experienced person can be a great thing.”
