THE BIGGER PICTURE

“I’m enjoying being with the family and looking to get back at some point," said Lampard. “Hopefully something comes up that feels right for me, I’m keen to get working again but as I reiterate, I’m enjoying family life. “It’s an intense job so when you’re out of it, it’s nice to appreciate being around all my children.“You love the job. you understand the rigours of it in the modern day. I’ve enjoyed all the clubs I’ve worked with. They’ve all been big challenges for different reasons. I enjoy working with players, improve players and the team, so let’s see what comes.”

WHAT LAMPARD SAID

The Englishman will continue to evaluate his options over the coming months before making his return to the touchline. Whether or not it's at club or international level, remains to be seen.
