Chelsea caretaker Frank Lampard would not be drawn on the challenge facing the next Blues head coach.

The London club are likely to hire Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager for next season.

Lampard, who has one more game in charge, admitted the challenge of coaching the first team is even greater at present than he anticipated before taking the caretaker post.

He stated to reporters: “It's a good headline but I don't know. It remains to be seen, I can't jump into the future.

“I think it is a fantastic job because it is the Chelsea job and when I took it first time I came I probably got it was because a lot of top managers didn't want that, I know that for a fact.

“I enjoyed the process and I enjoyed coming in and I wish the new manager well. I don't know… it's his problem I guess – is that the headline you wanted?"
