The Chelsea legend announced his retirement this week, bringing an official end to his playing days.
Having seen out his contract at MLS outfit New York City at the end of last year, the 38-year-old has been weighing up his options.
Despite admitting he had received offers from Premier League sides, including Swansea, to continue on the pitch, Lampard opted to call it a day.
The West Ham academy product is now set to turn his attention to coaching, and a role with the FA has been suggested.

But the prospect of bringing in Premier League legend and former Hammer Lampard appears more appealing to Slaven Bilic.
“I know him well, of course, as he started his career here, him and Rio Ferdinand, when I was playing for West Ham in 1996/97, Bilic said.
“Frank is always very welcome in our club.
“I am sure he’s gonna be, like he was serious in his football career, very, very serious in his management career.

On his decision to retire, Lampard said: "Of course, the largest part of my heart belongs to Chelsea Football Club, a club which has given me so many great memories.
"Looking forward, I'm grateful to the FA for the opportunity to study for my coaching qualifications and I look forward to pursuing the off-field opportunities that this decision opens."
