Lampard’s legendary status at Stamford Bridge is said to be playing a part in giving the head coach more time to turn things around.
And there are reportedly no candidates currently in mind to take over from Lampard.
Chelsea have a chance to pick up some form this week with an FA Cup tie against League Two side Morecambe followed by a Premier League match against Fulham.
And despite winning just one of their last six matches, Chelsea are only three points away from a top-four spot.
