Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba said he was delighted Frank Lampard was 'coming back home' after he was confirmed as the new manager at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard, who won three Premier League titles and one Champions League alongside Drogba at Chelsea, was finally unveiled as Maurizio Sarri's successor by the London club on Thursday morning, joining from Derby on a three-year contract.
Writing on Instagram, Drogba said: 'Good luck, proud to see you coming back home @franklampard'.
That sentiment was echoed by Michael Essien, another member of the 2011-12 Champions League winning squad.
He wrote: 'Proud to see you coming back home @franklampard, Good luck and all the best @chelseafc .Come On Blues'
Drogba and Essien were joined by another of Lampard's old Chelsea team-mates, Mario Melchiot, in wishing the new boss well, as the former Holland full-back tweeted: 'Welcome back Frank!'
