Frank Lampard Set to Become Coventry City Head Coach
The former Chelsea and England midfielder is finalizing a 2½-year deal to lead the struggling Championship club.
- Frank Lampard, 46, is in advanced talks to take over as Coventry City's head coach, replacing Mark Robins, who was dismissed earlier this month after nearly eight years in charge.
- Lampard's appointment comes as Coventry sit 17th in the Championship, just two points above the relegation zone, following a 2-0 loss to Burnley on Tuesday night.
- The move marks Lampard's return to management after an 18-month hiatus, with his last role being an interim stint at Chelsea during the 2022-23 season.
- Coventry owner Doug King, under pressure from fans after sacking Robins, emphasized the importance of avoiding relegation and aiming for a Premier League return after 24 years.
- Lampard is expected to bring former assistants Joe Edwards and Chris Jones to his coaching staff, resolving prior concerns over backroom staff changes.
