Frank Lampard, aged 45, Chelsea’s former interim head coach, is on the short-list of candidates to be the coach of the Canada national team. Meanwhile, Lampard who was only caretaker manager of Chelsea, was replaced by Mauricio Pochettino.
Yet, his managerial capabilities aren’t unseen either and the Canadian team has their eyes firmly set on him for a managerial position.
Canada’s national team is on the upswing and has added names among the best, with Alphonso Davies reportedly set to transfer from Bayern Munich to Real Madrid this summer.
Moreover, it is not only Jonathan David, a fantastic forward for Lille, who is drawing attention from the Premier League sides. Such prodigies make up a strong foundation for the Canadian team’s ambitions.

What is the scenario regarding Lampard’s transfer to Canada National Team?
As a player Lampard proved himself however after moving to coaching he started his managing career at Derby County and then was promoted to senior coach back at Chelsea.
While Lampard had only a brief duration at Derby County and Chelsea during his time, the evidence of his tactical mastery and leadership skills are evident from the performances Derby put up out there and him leading Chelsea back to the top.
Nevertheless, Lampard experienced a mixed journey to management, just like when he was appointed Chelsea manager for eighteen months but then got sacked.
After that, he was appointed manager of Everton for a short while before getting sacked and then got another chance to steer Chelsea from the dugout as a manager.
To put it simply, even though the job of national team manager of Canada might not be an easy one, the main benefit that Lampard has is the fact that he is well-versed in top-flight football, and he knows the nitty-gritty of football management.
