Frank Lampard is a leading candidate for the managerial vacancy at Coventry City following Mark Robins’s departure. Out of work since his interim stint with Chelsea last year, the 46-year-old Lampard, who previously managed Derby County and Everton, has expressed interest in returning to management.
Coventry City owner Doug King confirmed Lampard is among roughly 80 applicants vying for the position. King acknowledged Lampard’s experience and noted the club will evaluate candidates during the international break, aiming to finalize a shortlist soon. Robins’ departure surprised many Coventry fans, as he took the club from League Two to the Championship and nearly to Premier League promotion last season, finishing ninth.
Former Coventry legend Steve Ogrizovic voiced disappointment, calling the decision unexpected and citing Robins’ consistent success in building fan enthusiasm and progress within the club. Coventry City now seeks a manager to maintain that upward trajectory, with Lampard’s experience potentially aligning with the club’s ambitions.
