Frank Lampard has agreed a three-year deal to become the new manager of Chelsea , and will be confirmed as the club's new boss in the next 48 hours.

The former Blues midfielder and his Derby County assistant Jody Morris - another former Chelsea player - were excused from the first day of pre-season training by Rams owner Mel Morris on Monday, paving the way for his much-anticipated move back down south to Stamford Bridge.

Club legend Lampard is Chelsea's all-time record goalscorer with 211 strikes, and won 11 major trophies during his time at the club including three Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2012.

He will replace Maurizio Sarri in the role after the Italian walked out on the club after just one season in charge to join Juventus .
