Frank Lampard has ruled himself out of the running for the role of Canada's new head coach, but remains keen to return to management.

The former Chelsea and Everton manager emerged as a surprise candidate for the role earlier this month to lead Canada into the 2026 World Cup, which they are co-hosting.

But according to The Telegraph, Lampard has decided against taking the role after holding initial talks with the Canadian Football Federation.

The 45-year-old attended England's training sessions ahead of the Three Lions friendlies against Belgium and Brazil last month and remains keen to return to management.

'I’m enjoying being with the family and looking to get back at some point,' he said.
