Lampard loved first season as Chelsea manager: This is my club

Frank Lampard loved his first season in charge of Chelsea.

The Englishman transitioned as a legendary player with the Blues to the dugout, leading his club to a fourth-place finish and an FA Cup final.

"I really enjoyed my first year in charge and I think that first home game against Leicester is something that really sticks out for me," Lampard said.

"I will always remember the reception of the fans, when I walked out at Stamford Bridge for the first time as Chelsea manager. It was really humbling for me, having been away and then coming back in a different capacity.

"It was an amazing feeling and I loved it. This is my club and there are not many people that are fortunate enough to have the journey that I've had at such a brilliant football club. Now I'm here, in this position, I just want to make the best of it."
