But the 34-year-old has not ruled out staying if the man who replaces interim manager Rafael Benitez this summer can persuade the board to keep him – and if it's Jose Mourinho, that could happen.
Over the last two seasons, Chelsea have had three managers, and Lampard said: "Whatever the situation, it would be nice if a manager could come in and have a good crack at some consistency and stay in the job.
"We all understand we've had some interim managers and the fans and the club would probably be happier if we could get a manager who could stay for more than half a season, or for some period of time.
"While there's a manager in place now, although we know what seems to be coming at the end of the season, I don't think it's right to speculate about who the manager will be next season.
Mourinho is the bookmakers' favourite to replace Benitez, and of the Real Madrid coach, Lampard added: "There's no doubt about his credentials.
"Whether he comes to Chelsea or stays at Real Madrid or whatever club he goes to, I believe he will be successful. From working with him I'm very sure of that.
