Lampard retires at 38
I think there may be some confusion! Frank Lampard, the former Chelsea and England midfielder, has not retired at the age of 38. In fact, he is still active in the football world, albeit in a different capacity.
Lampard retired from professional football in 2017, at the age of 38, after a successful playing career that spanned over two decades. He played for West Ham United, Chelsea, Manchester City, and New York City FC, among others, and won numerous titles, including three Premier League championships and the Champions League.
After retiring as a player, Lampard went on to become a manager, taking over as the manager of Derby County in 2018 and then Chelsea in 2019. He has been managing Chelsea since then and has led the team to several notable successes, including a Champions League semifinal appearance in 2020.
So, to clarify, Frank Lampard did retire from playing football at the age of 38, but he has continued to be involved in the sport as a manager.
