FRANK LAMPARD has confirmed he is in talks over becoming Derby County manager.
The Chelsea legend opened up on being linked to the Championship side after they finished sixth last season.
Lamps, 39, is desperate to move into coaching having worked as a TV pundit since retiring from playing last year.
And speaking on BT Sport, Lampard said: “There’s been interest from Derby, I’ve been speaking to them.
“I’m ambitious and I want to become a manager at some point.
“It’s a big club, with big tradition and big history, which I really like.

“We’ll carry on speaking when I go home and see.”
Former Manchester City star Lampard will be taking over a side expecting to at least get in the promotion play-off spots again.
This year they exited at the semi-final stage after losing to eventual winners Fulham.
The Rams last tasted Premier League football ten years ago.
And they have suffered several near misses getting back to the top flight since.
Previous boss Gary Rowett left to join Stoke this week following the Potters’ relegation from the Prem.
