Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jonathan Woodgate and Vincent Kompany are just three of the names to have secured permanent managerial roles at clubs where they played - and there may just be more to come. Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge after Maurizio Sarri moved back to Italy to join Juventus. Lampard took Derby County to the Championship play-off final last season - his first in management - and bagged several high-profile scalps in cup competitions. Former Middlesbrough centre-back Jonathan Woodgate has recently returned to the club as head coach. Woodgate's return to Boro came just weeks after Manchester City's title-winning skipper Vincent Kompany returned to his first club - Anderlecht - as player-manager.
