On November 13, Beijing time, Doug King, the owner of Coventry City, revealed that Frank Lampard has joined the race to become the new manager of the club. The competition for the managerial position at Coventry is intense, with over 60 individuals expressing their interest in taking charge.
After retiring from playing, Lampard embarked on a coaching career, managing clubs such as Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton. However, compared to his illustrious playing career, his managerial tenure has been less successful. He has been out of work since parting ways with Everton in early 2023.
Doug King, the owner of Coventry, discussed the club’s selection process: “We have received a significant number of applications, and Lampard is one of them. During the international break, we will evaluate the candidates and finalize our shortlist.”
Coventry City’s performance in the Championship has not been ideal, currently standing 17th in the league table with 16 points from 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses, just one point above the relegation zone. This means that the new manager, should Lampard be appointed, will face significant pressure to secure the team’s survival in the league.
