(Reuters) - Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has received some "flattering" offers to return to management since his dismissal by the London side in January, but the 42-year-old said he will wait until the right opportunity comes along.

Chelsea dismissed club great Lampard after only 18 months in charge, following a run of five defeats in eight Premier League games that left them in ninth place. His replacement, Thomas Tuchel, has lifted the team to fifth.
