Former Chelsea player-turned manager Frank says of his role: "Playing in front of a sold-out crowd at Stamford Bridge is special – for any player, on any occasion. I’m excited to be doing that again – this time with Soccer Aid for Unicef.

"Managing the Soccer Aid England team with Harry will be a proud moment and great fun – but the main focus is rightly on the millions of pounds we can all raise together."

Who are the Soccer Aid 2024 managers and coaches for World XI FC?

This year's World XI manager will again be Mauricio Pochettino, assisted by Jesus Perez (Coach).

Mauricio Pochettino - who recently parted ways with Chelsea after just one season - said: “Soccer Aid for Unicef is a huge event – and one I am delighted to be part of again. The 2023 match was a great experience to be a part of and that is why I was more than happy to accept a return this year, particularly as it will be at Stamford Bridge and with Frank Lampard, a Chelsea legend, in the opposing dugout for England.

"We raised so much money last year, and I hope we can do the same this time. A sold-out Stamford Bridge generates an incredible atmosphere and we want the players who are part of Soccer Aid 2024 to enjoy that same feeling when they step out on to the pitch on Sunday, June 9."

More names are still to be announced but we know that their team will include Usain Bolt (Captain), Eden Hazard, Roberto Carlos, Martin Compston, Maisie Adam, Roman Kemp, Lee Mack, Tommy Fury and Gladiator Diamond.
