Speculation along these lines has been going on for some time, with Cech retiring from playing at the end of the 2018/19 season.
The former Czech Republic international was a world class performer for Chelsea between 2004 and 2015, before spending the final few years of his career as an Arsenal player.

It now seems he’s set for another spell with CFC, while another club legend, Frank Lampard, could soon be joining him as manager, according to Nicolo Schira.
Chelsea fans would surely be delighted with a Cech-Lampard dream team at Stamford Bridge after a difficult couple of seasons of under-achievement.
