Coventry City is on the brink of appointing Frank Lampard as their new manager, with an agreement in principle reportedly reached between the two parties. Final negotiations are underway to settle the finer details, paving the way for the former Chelsea and Derby County boss to take charge at the Championship club.
Lampard, 45, is expected to bring in a number of his own trusted staff to bolster the backroom team. This move signals a fresh chapter for Coventry as they aim to rejuvenate their campaign and climb the Championship table.
Reports from Sky Sports News last week indicated that Lampard was the leading candidate for the role, with discussions progressing to an advanced stage. The latest developments confirm that Coventry is closing in on their target, and an official announcement could follow soon.
The appointment would mark Lampard’s return to management following his interim stint with Chelsea, which ended in May 2023. Known for his experience in both the Premier League and Championship, Lampard brings a wealth of knowledge and ambition to Coventry as they look to build for the future.
Fans of the Sky Blues will be eagerly awaiting confirmation, hopeful that Lampard’s leadership can inspire a turnaround in fortunes for the club.
