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.

“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.
