Chelsea boss Frank Lampard dreams of coaching FC Barcelona

The former midfielder would love the chance to work in Spain one day

Frank Lampard still dreams of signing for Barcelona. It didn't happen in his playing career but it could happen as a coach. The Chelsea boss, who cut his teeth in the trade with Derby County first, hopes to coach Barça in the future, according to Esport 3's Guille Balague.

Lampard was linked with Barça as a player but a deal never materialised. At the time, the ex-England international was in a relationship with the Catalan model Elen Rives.

Now, Lampard's overseeing an ambitious project at Chelsea that's only really just getting started. He was handed money to sign top players like Werner and Havertz in the summer.

However, the team is not doing as well as expected and Lampard's being questioned. Even though they progressed in the Champions League, where they will meet Atletico, they are ninth in the league and lost to Manchester City at the weekend.

Only time will tell if Lampard's Barça dream ever becomes a reality. In the short-term, it seems unlikely. His spell at Chelsea has just started and Xavi Hernandez is in line to take over at Barça after Ronald Koeman.
