Frank Lampard has been confirmed as the new head coach of Championship club Coventry City. The 46-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Sky Blues, who currently sit 17th in the league. His tenure begins with a home match against Cardiff City at the Coventry Building Society Arena this Saturday.
Lampard, who has previously managed Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton, will be supported by Joe Edwards and Chris Jones, coaches he has worked with before. Coventry owner Doug King expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Frank’s Championship experience and Premier League exposure equip him to lead our talented squad toward top-level success.”
This marks Lampard’s return to management after his brief stint as Chelsea’s interim boss in 2023. Despite a challenging period there, he has a history of guiding teams like Derby to playoff finals and securing a top-four Premier League finish with Chelsea during his first spell.<
