Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari believes Frank Lampard is prepared to spend the rest of his career at Stamford Bridge.

The club has confirmed they rejected an offer from Inter Milan for the England international.

And Scolari has already held talks with the midfielder.

The Brazilian said: "I met Frank Lampard and we spoke for 15 minutes. When we finished, I was very happy because I asked if he wants to stay and he said 'yes, I will stay at Chelsea'."

Scolari insists he can cope with the demand to win trophies for Chelsea.

His predecessor Avram Grant was sacked despite leading the team to second place in the Premier League and the finals of both the Champions League and League Cup.

Scolari added: "I know the pressure to win every game. We have a pressure and I know how to manage it because in Brazil they eat football, they sleep football. It is all football.

"So because of pressure from my own people I think I am prepared for this and in my mind I feel prepared for this.

"For a long time I have been a player and coach and in that time I have wanted to win and if I lost it was difficult to accept. Maybe in life you need to fight and I don't accept not winning.

"I and my staff and players and the board want to win all the competitions. I think we have the potential to win all competitions that we have entered.

"We want the best for Chelsea and the players and fans. I don't know how many championships we will win - one, two, three, but we will try win them all."
