Blues legend Lampard has since been touted as a possible replacement for the Nigerian along with other popular former players such as Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack.
And Lampard – Chelsea’s record goalscorer – has indicated that he would welcome the chance to take on a new role at the club where he remains a much-loved figure.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the former England midfielder said: “I worked with Michael for seven or eight years.
“His role at the club coincided with the most successful period in Chelsea’s history so I think he deserves a lot of credit from that. Everyone at Chelsea wishes him well as he moves on.
“In terms of myself, I don’t know. I’m a Chelsea person, I’d love to be involved with the club long-term in some way. We’ll see.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has been ruled out of Belgium’s international match against Mexico because of a foot injury.
Batshuayi has returned to his club for treatment and for Chelsea to assess the extent of the problem.
