Frank Lampard, manager of Everton, has revealed why he spent the majority of his playing career at Chelsea.
The former Chelsea captain spent 13 seasons at Stamford Bridge, becoming the club’s most successful player in its 109-year history.
With the West London Blues, he won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, the League Cup twice, the Europa League, and the Champions League.
The Everton manager spoke to the media on Friday ahead of their Premier League game on Boxing Day.
He stated that happiness is what keeps him at Stamford Bridge, while warning his former club and Manchester United, who are interested in goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
He is adamant that the Merseyside club can match England’s ambition.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with moves for the former Sunderland star, but Lampard believes Pickford has everything he needs at Everton to have a successful career.

“Jordan is very content at this club. “I get that impression,” he said.
“Perhaps I was fortunate to play a lot of Champions League, but when I felt at a club, I came in with a smile on my face every day and looked forward to every game, and if Jordan feels like that and we can match each other’s ambitions, I don’t see that as a problem.”
