Coventry Appoints Frank Lampard As New Manager

Championship club, Coventry has appointed Former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard as its new head coach of Championship club Coventry City on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Lampard, 46, takes over with the club 17th in the Championship table, two points above the relegation places.

He takes over from the long-serving Mark Robins, who was dismissed after seven years in charge earlier this month, and becomes the first new appointment made by Sky Blues owner Doug King since he completed his takeover in January 2023.

The Coventry job will be Lampard’s fifth in management, following spells at Derby County, Everton and two stints with Chelsea.

He has worked largely in the media since his last role, as interim manager at Stamford Bridge, ended in May 2023.

Lampard’s first match in charge of the Sky Blues will be at home to Cardiff City on Saturday.
