English man Frank Lampard is now back to coaching, about two years after leaving his job at Chelsea.
This is as Coventry City appointed him manager of the Championship side on Thursday.
Speaking on the latest development via the club website, 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.”
Already, Lampard has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and will take charge for the first time at home to Cardiff City on Saturday.
Coventry sit 17th in the English second tier and controversially sacked Mark Robins, who led them to the FA Cup semi-final last season, earlier this month.
The 46-year-old has been out of work since an ill-fated second spell in charge of Chelsea as interim boss for the final months of the 2022/23 season.
