Although he intends to play once more for the Blues, the former England captain admits he does not think such move will happen.
When asked about a possible return to Chelsea, Lampard told the Daily Mail: "In an ideal world, yes. But I don't think that's reality. I have to think about myself.
"I’m finally going to start my coaching badges next week at B level. The FA are trying to help, FA technical director Dan Ashworth has been in touch. I know he's also helping Stevie Gerrard.
"There are opportunities to make it a quicker process than it was before. That would be great. I'll be in football. There is also media work. I've got respect for what you do."
With 147 goals for Chelsea in his 429 appearances for Chelsea, Lampard is the record goal scorer for the club.
He was later loaned to Manchester City in 2014 and made his debut for the club on September 13 of that year in a 2–2 away draw against Arsenal.
