Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says he is retiring from soccer and will study to become a coach.
The 38-year-old Lampard made the announcement on Facebook yesterday, saying he turned down “a number of exciting offers to continue playing at home and abroad … to begin the next chapter in my life.”
Lampard made 106 appearances for England’s national team and scored a club-record 211 goals for Chelsea from 2001-14. He also played for West Ham and Manchester City before moving to New York City FC for the final 18 months of his career.
Lampard had a 21-year professional career and said “the largest part of my heart belongs to Chelsea,” where he won every major club honor.
