Lampard wants to be Chelsea boss

Frank Lampard has told the Chelsea fanzine cfcuk he would like to manage the Blues.

The midfielder, 34, is considering taking his coaching badges but is not keen to start in the lower divisions if he does enter management.

And Lampard admitted he would be concerned about damaging his legacy at Stamford Bridge if he did not succeed in the top job.

“I am thinking about my coaching badges now but there is only one club I want to manage,” he is quoted as saying.

“I know it might sound a bit big-headed or selfish but I wouldn’t want to go through ‘showing myself’ with a lower club.

“Although I would never expect to walk into a position such as the Chelsea manager, this is the only club I’d want to manage.

“I’d love to have a crack at it but I’d want to do it well. I wouldn’t want the supporters to forget everything I’ve tried to do as a player because I can’t manage the team.”
