Frank Lampard is reportedly close to taking over as Coventry City’s new manager. According to The Telegraph, the Chelsea legend, 46, has been without a managerial role since serving as Chelsea’s interim boss in 2023.
Coventry recently sacked Mark Robins, a decision that followed a poor start to the Championship season, leaving the team 17th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. Lampard, who previously led Derby County to the Championship play-off final in 2019, is eager to resume his coaching career with the right opportunity. The club’s owner, Doug King, who took full control in 2023, cited the need to avoid relegation as the reason for parting ways with Robins, despite his prior success, including play-off and FA Cup semi-final appearances.
Lampard’s appointment would mark a significant move for Coventry as they look to stabilize their season and climb the table. King emphasized the importance of this decision, acknowledging the risks involved in managerial changes.
