Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has expressed his desire to manage the England national football team, a role he admits would be a dream come true for any English coach. Lampard’s name has surfaced among potential candidates to replace Gareth Southgate, who stepped down as England’s manager following Euro 2024.
In an interview on “The Sports Agents” podcast, Lampard, who earned over 100 caps as a player for England, revealed that managing the Three Lions would be an enticing opportunity. The Football Association (FA) has currently appointed Lee Carsley as the interim manager for the national team.
“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,” Lampard stated. “Now as a coach, I think I would be crazy to sort of say, ‘Oh no, that would never interest me.’”
Lampard’s managerial career has seen him take charge of clubs like Chelsea and Everton, and many believe his experience could make him a good fit for the national team.
