Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has admitted that he could be back to Stamford Bridge as he fancies managerial job with the Blues in the future. The 38-year old who is currently playing in MLS has scored  12 goals in 17 appearances this season for New York City FC.

“There was a period earlier in my career where I really fancied it, then I thought I don’t fancy the managerial thing,” Lampard told Sky Sports. “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.

“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. As a Chelsea man or not, the job is one of the pinnacles of football, they are one of the top clubs in the world now. And I’m a Chelsea man.

“It might be a different route for me and might take a while but the dream would be to manage Chelsea one day. If I was good enough, if they wanted me and it was the right time.”
