Frank Lampard says he has "learned a million things" in his first season in charge at Chelsea.
The Blues legend returned to Stamford Bridge last summer after only one season of management with Derby County.
Lampard says it was his time at Pride Park which solidified his desire to continue in management.
And after leading Chelsea to fourth and an FA Cup final, Lampard reveals he has already learnt so much in just one season in charge.
"The year I had at Derby made me learn that this [being a manager] was definitely what I wanted to be," Lampard told the club's website.
"Before that when I had my year off from football in the media, it didn't really grab me enough.
"It was a nice job, I enjoyed it, but I wanted to be back in and when you get the job with Chelsea, the step up in terms of expectation is huge, with the level of player and the demands to win week in week out.
"That has been tough and in terms of how you always want to improve, I am pretty obsessive on myself in how I want to work. In that sense, I probably learned that I need to get the balance right going forward in terms of being able to switch off a little.
"My desire to be successful is there and is so big that I can't help wanting us to get better and better. I've learned a million things and I am humble enough to know if there are things I can improve I will try to do it because I want to be successful with this club.
"It has been a tough year but I have enjoyed every bit of it and it feels like we have had a level of achievement getting in the top four. We have one huge game next weekend and all I can think of now is the next thing."
