Lampard's dedication, his big-game mentality and his tactics when he led our midfield for so many years suggested an expected career when hanging up. However, he revealed that such a path was not always in his mind and that he is now determined to make his mark on the game rather than relying on his predecessors in the role of Chelsea .
"In my twenties, I did not want to be a manager," said Lampard.
"When you're an individual player, you're relatively selfish about your day-to-day worry about being in shape and being the best, and then, when you get a little older and realize that you need to be in good shape. Being much more selfless and baduming everyone's responsibility, these moments with the managers come back to you.
"When I was 30, I started to think about it, as you do when you think about next steps. If I look back, there was no "ding" moment as such. I've had a lot of managers who have really influenced me. I absolutely respected the way they worked with me and in a group.
"Jose Mourinho, I talked a lot about his first visit and what he did for me, more mentally than tactically or physically. There have been innumerable managers, without naming them all, who have given me moments on and off the pitch, which have made me think that it could be of great interest to me.
