In a recent report, it was revealed that Frank Lampard is being considered as a potential candidate for the role of head coach of the Canada national team, marking an unexpected turn in his career trajectory.
The Canadian Football Federation, gearing up for co-hosting the 2026 World Cup alongside Mexico and the United States, has purportedly included Lampard in their shortlist of managerial prospects, as reported by The Telegraph.
After a stint as Chelsea’s temporary manager that was characterized by brevity and lackluster performance at the end of the preceding season, the former English international has remained without employment in the footballing realm.
However, Lampard, who is 45 years old, is reportedly keen on making a managerial comeback given the right opportunity, with Canada allegedly expressing interest in engaging with him.
Yet, whether Lampard will find the prospect of leading the Canadian national team enticing remains uncertain.
Since John Herdman vacated the position last summer to assume responsibilities at Toronto FC, Mauro Biello has served as Canada’s interim manager.
Despite Lampard’s brief spell in the United States with New York City FC towards the end of his playing career, he has yet to venture into a managerial role abroad.
This potential opportunity with Canada, if materialized, would mark a significant departure from Lampard’s previous managerial experiences and could shape the next phase of his career in football.
