Lampard, Chelsea's record scorer, will be under no illusions at the task in hand particularly in the midst of a two-window transfer ban.

So he will need all the help he can get from his group of experienced backroom staff.

Joining him from Derby will be his best mate Jody Morris who will act as his assistant manager.

Morris, Chelsea's youngest ever player, helped bring through youth prospects at Stamford Bridge before making the switch to the Rams following Lampard's appointment.

Chris Jones, who was first-team coach at Derby, will also head south as part of the compensation agreement.

Jones also worked at Chelsea with the first-team under Carlo Ancelotti in 2009 and remained at the club following a flurry of new managers.

There will also be a promotion for Eddie Newton who is already working with Chelsea.

The former midfielder currently has the role of developing the careers of their on-loan players but will now be part of the coaching staff.

Joe Edwards, who currently works with the academy, will earn a promotion to the first-team.

Former stopper Shay Given has been linked with a move as goalkeeping coach while Steve Rands is likely to be tasked with analysing player performances.

He was recruited at Derby when Lampard was appointed having previously worked with Manchester City.

Fitness guru Steve Haines, club doctor Amit Pannu and medical marvel Robin Sadler are also likely to make the switch.
