Former England midfielder Frank Lampard says he will be "in close contact" with his old club Chelsea as he decides on his next career move.

The 38-year-old left New York City in November and speculation has mounted that he could return to the London team in a coaching role or some other capacity.

"I'm still waiting for the five-year contract to come through from Chelsea, they haven't called yet," Lampard joked on Saturday.

"Whatever happens, in some capacity I will be at Chelsea, whether that's with my season ticket watching them...I don't know. I will be in very close contact.

“Whether I have a role is not all in my hands so I can't go any further than that. I am very relaxed about it which is a nice place to be."
