(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said he was looking forward to his first meeting with Everton counterpart Frank Lampard, adding that the former midfielder will always be a Stamford Bridge great despite his difficult managerial stint at the London club.
Tuchel succeeded Lampard in the Chelsea job in January last year, leading them to the FA Cup final and Champions League title within months of taking charge.
"I was a huge fan of him as a player and he is and will remain a legend at our club and this is a given. It is a very exciting week for me, I would love to meet him. We need the points, they need the points urgently as well." Lampard, who replaced Rafa Benitez in January, said Chelsea were a big part of his life but that wouldn't alter the nature of the task at hand.
