Former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says Frank Lampard should be given the job long-term.
Lampard has taken charge for a second spell, stepping in as a caretaker to the end of the season after the dismissal of Graham Potter.
Hiddink supports the appointment and told the Telegraph: I would like to be seen not only as an interim manager, but also to be given the confidence that he will continue to be part of the project next season.
"He knows the club like no one else, and it is important to ensure continuity in everything. Like anyone else, Lampard will need time. Chelsea have invested a lot of money in the players, but now they have to adapt to his ideas.
"He has just started his coaching career. Let him work! I know him and I think he is the right person."
