Frank Lampard Nearing Coventry City Manager Role

Frank Lampard is on the verge of being appointed as Coventry City’s new manager, with advanced talks underway between the former England midfielder and the Championship club.

Lampard, 46, has impressed Coventry owner Doug King during discussions last week, and negotiations have gathered pace over the last 24 hours. If finalised, Lampard will sign a two-and-a-half-year deal to replace Mark Robins, who was controversially dismissed earlier this month after seven years at the helm.

Building Lampard’s Coaching Team

Lampard is expected to bring his trusted coaching staff to Coventry, including Joe Edwards and Chris Jones, who worked alongside him during his stints at Chelsea and Everton. This appointment would mark Lampard’s fourth permanent managerial role following spells at Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton. Most recently, Lampard served as Chelsea’s interim manager at the end of the 2022-23 season.
