Frank Lampard has been confirmed as the new manager of Championship side Coventry City.
The 46-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Sky Blues who currently sit 17th in England’s second tier.
Lampard, who has previously managed Chelsea and Derby County, has not been seen in the dugout in 18 months following his second spell at Stamford Bridge when he replaced Graham Potter at the end of the 2022-23 season on an interim basis.
Upon appointing Lampard, Coventry owner Doug King said: ‘I am delighted that Frank Lampard has agreed to join our club as Head Coach. Frank cut his teeth in the Championship and knows what is needed in this League to be successful.
‘His experiences thereafter at Chelsea and Everton will ensure he brings to our talented squad clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level that we as a Club are striving to reach.’
