Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says he faces the toughest challenge of his career as manager of the club.
The 41-year-old won countless trophies in his 13-year stint as a player at Stamford Bridge.
With only year of managerial experience, Lampard recognises the magnitude of the task ahead of him.
Quizzed if his new role in the Stamford Bridge dugout would be the greatest challenge of his career, he said: "Yes.
"My playing career is done - great memories and challenges along the way. I always loved a challenge. Coming here 19 years ago was a challenge.
"I remember driving home with the radio on and some people were questioning whether I should be here for 11m. I worked really hard to try and put that right and now I'm going to work really hard to be successful as a manager here.
"When I started out in management I thought last year was a challenge. I don't want credit for my playing career; I should be judged on what I do here."
