Former England Midfielder Frank Lampard has agreed on a deal in principle for his return to management with Championship side Coventry.
Frank Lampard has been confirmed as the head coach of Coventry, returning to the dugout 18 months after he left Chelsea.
He succeeds Mark Robins, who was sacked after almost eight years in charge, with the club 17th in the Championship, two points above the relegation zone.
Coventry, with four wins off 17 matches, sits 17th in the league standings, with Lampard being the first appointment under the club’s new owner Doug King.
“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,” King was quoted in a media release.
Lampard returns to management after a year, with his last stint being an interim one at Chelsea after the departure of Graham Potter.
Having started his managerial career at Derby County in 2018, he has coached Everton and Chelsea so far.
“I am delighted that Frank Lampard has agreed to join our club as Head Coach.
“Frank cuts 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,” King added.
