It’s been over a year since Frank Lampard turned his back on English football and started a new, slightly injury-hit chapter in his career with New York City FC.
His last club on these shores was of course Manchester City, but with the 38-year-old now looking to life after he hangs up his boots, Lampard has suggested he’d only ever fancy managing one club, and it’s *not* City.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Lampard admitted that while he’s not always been keen to pursue a career in coaching, he’s now quite happy to have a bash at it – although he’s yet to get any of his coaching badges.
“There was a period earlier in my career where I really fancied it, then I thought I don’t fancy the managerial thing. Now, I’m back onto it. The problem is I’ve got to get my badges and the hard thing for me is to have time to do it.”
Adding that he’s now open to being a manager, Lampard goes on to explain that he’d quite like to manage Chelsea.
“As soon as I finish playing I’d like to take it up and maybe be a manager. It’s hard though because I only want the Chelsea job.”
Despite bowing out of English football after his stint at City, some of you may recall that Lampard also played for Chelsea for a bit.
