JAKARTA - There are irregularities behind Frank Lampard's return as Chelsea manager for the second time. He admitted that he was not allowed to name the assistant "for several reasons".
Lampard took the lead again to guide the Blues until the end of last Thursday's season. He returned two years after the dismissal of the previous owner, Roman Abramovich.
Although the team behind it has not been officially announced, some have guessed who they are. Ashley Cole, Joe Edwards and Chris Jones are all seen in the match at Molineux.
Surprisingly, Lampard could not provide confirmation. The 44-year-old manager claimed that he could not get the authority from the club's management to talk about his assistant.
"I can't talk about the dressing room team for some reason. You can write what you see," Lampard said.
Unfortunately Lampard's presence has not had a positive impact. Chelsea displayed another poor performance at Molineux, which caused a 0-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers
The hosts won after a stunning volley from Matheus Nunes in the 31st minute.
The former Everton boss is aware of the "big task" but insists he never expects to turn things around in just one day.
"It's a big task. We know we are in a position we don't want - but there's a reason for that," Lampard said.
"I don't expect to finish everything in one day. At the same time, you have to have more aggression in your game."
The lack of confidence can be seen. I am disappointed I could not give the fans a win in my first game back," he continued.
