Former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank
Lampard has been appointed 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 replaces the long-serving Mark Robins, who was
sacked 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.
