Ex-Chelsea boss, Frank Lampard sets sights on England job

Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has revealed his intention to return to coaching following his dismissal from Chelsea Football Club in 2021.

In an interview with The Sports Agents podcast on Thursday, Lampard shared his aspirations, including a strong interest in managing the England national team.

With Gareth Southgate stepping down after Euro 2024, Lampard is reportedly among the candidates being considered for the managerial position.

He said: “As an English player who played 100-plus times, and an English person who’s very proud – of course, the England set-up is something that I never dreamed of.

“I played many times for England. So, now as a coach, you know, I think I would be crazy to sort of say, ‘Oh no, that would never interest me.”

The England national team also known as the ‘The Three Lions’ is currently being managed by Lee Carsley as an interim Manager who was appointed in August 2024 for the UEFA Nations League 2024 campaign.
