Thelegendary head coach Emma Hayes is leaving Chelsea Women at the end of the season. It's still unclear who her replacement in charge of the Blues' female team would be.
“I do have a name in mind but I've never heard anyone throw it out there... Frank Lampard,” she told LiveScore.
“He's somebody who knows the club inside out. From my experiences at Everton, listening to him speak, he's the right type of character.
“His level of communication and knowledge of the game could be really effective and I think you've got someone well accustomed with what it means to be Chelsea.
“I don't have any knowledge on whether he'd want it or not but it makes sense to me. To be honest, I sit in a party where it doesn't have to be a female, doesn't have to be a male - it just needs to be the right person for the job.
“There's no gain in Chelsea going: ‘Right, let's pigeonhole this, it has to be a female’. If they want to continue or attempt to continue the dominance they've had domestically, it has to be the correct appointment.”
