Enrique frustrated by Chelsea boss

Luis Enrique was ready to take over at Chelsea this month and is said to be disappointed by Todd Boehly's decision to appoint Frank Lampard until the end of the season

The Blues sacked Graham Potter at the start of April amid poor conditions, despite spending hundreds of millions in the transfer market

Former Spain and Barcelona coach Enrique immediately emerged as the main contender, along with former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann

As talks began to take place about a replacement, owner Boehly made the surprise decision to suspend the interim manager until the end of the season

He appointed Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, who had been sacked as the club's manager in 2021

Lampard himself was sacked by Everton in January and they plummeted towards relegation

Now he is set to try to save their season, but it doesn't go well. Three consecutive defeats from his opening three matches have left them in shock, with 39 points in 11th place.

Chelsea have not won a game in their last five matches in the Premier League
