Frank Lampard has been lined up to make a shock return to management after spells at Everton, Chelsea and Derby.
legend has been out of work since leaving his role as Blues interim manager at the end of the 2023/24 season.Since his most recent stint came to an end, Lampard has appeared regularly as a pundit on BBC and Sky Sports, and was in the studio for Chelsea 's 1-1 draw atAccording to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 46-year-old has emerged as a candidate to replace Ivan Juric at Serie A club Roma.
Juric is Roma's third manager in 10 months, as they sacked Jose Mourinho in January before then parting company with former player Daniele de Rossi after a poor start to the current Serie A season. The Croatian hasn't enjoyed a strong start at Stadio Olimpico either, losing four of his first 10 games in charge.But Gazzetta claim there are other names in the frame - and each has at least a tentative link to English football.
Roberto Mancini, who was recently sacked as manager of Saudi Arabia following a reported disagreement with players, is said to have been contacted.And the third name on the list is ex-Swansea boss Paulo Sousa, who has had something of a journeyman career in Europe and across the world managing the likes of Fiorentina, Basel, Maccabi Tel Aviv and even the Poland national team.
