Frank Lampard to be offered Chelsea post if he retires from playing

By Cabilablog
Chelsea will offer Frank Lampard a role back at Stamford Bridge if the former England midfielder decides his playing days are over after announcing his intention to leave New York City in December at the end of his contract.
Lampard took to social media on Monday to confirm his time at the Major League Soccer club had come to an end after 15 goals in 31 appearances, culminating in defeat by Toronto in the play-offs this month, with confirmation of his next move to follow “very soon”. The 38-year-old, who won 106 England caps, is to decide whether to move into punditry or coaching, a career choice for which he has previously expressed enthusiasm, but will field interest from Chelsea whichever path he chooses to take.
The Premier League club will offer their record goalscorer either an ambassadorial role or a position on the coaching staff, depending upon his ambitions, as they seek to retain close links with their most successful generation of players.
There is a desire within the club not to see Lampard, Didier Drogba, John Terry, Ashley Cole or even Petr Cech – who departed for Arsenal in 2015 – working for a rival club in the future. They have already integrated Carlo Cudicini, Jody Morris, Eddie Newton, Paulo Ferreira, Jon Harley and Tore Andre Flo into their staff at senior and youth level.
Lampard cut ties with Chelsea in 2014 after 13 years which yielded 211 goals from 648 appearances, three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, a Champions League and a Europa League. Having agreed to join the newly formed New York City, he spent six months on loan at their parent club, Manchester City, which was later extended to cover the entire campaign, and scored against his former side in a 1-1 draw that autumn. Yet he retains talismanic status in south-west London, with Chelsea’s supporters still regularly chanting his name at games.
“As my time at New York City comes to an end, I would like to thank so many people for the kindness and support that they have shown me over the last two years,” said Lampard on the MLS club’s website. “My team-mates have been a pleasure to play alongside. The amazing fans have given me incredible support and backing. I have very much enjoyed my time, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to play for such a great club and in such an incredible city.”

The France international forward has been in hot form for the Red Devils of late, scoring four times in his last six outings, working his way closer to the forefront of manager Jose Mourinho’s plans. But when he reaches the milestone of 25 goals for the club – something he is only two strikes away from doing – the Old Trafford outfit will have to stump up another €10m to Monaco, according to documents obtained by Football Leaks back in January 2016. The 21-year-old forward arrived from the Ligue 1 outfit in the summer of 2015 with little reputation in England,

Arsenal fans are not waiting for the first north London derby of the season to reignite their long-running rivalry with Tottenham after poking fun at their £30m signing of Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle, with the France midfielder insisting for years that he wants to play for the Gunners. Sissoko went public on more than one occasion with his desire to play for Arsenal, having seen a string of French internationals pass through the club during Arsene Wenger’s 20-year reign. But while Arsenal considered making a move for the 27-year-old in recent years, his terrible form last season looked to put them off for good. He did impress at Euro 2016 as hosts France reached the final, though that only annoyed Newcastle fans further due to a belief that he simply hadn’t tried to perform to his best level during the 2015/16 campaign as the Magpies were relegated to the Championship. At one point, Sissoko looked to be on his way to Everton after they lodged a £30m offer, but the move trigger
