Frank Lampard is returning to the dugout for the first time in 18 months after being appointed Coventry City ’s new head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Frank Lampard has been appointed as manager of Championship side Coventry City, the club confirmed on Thursday.

Frank Lampard took the Derby County manager’s job in 2018, little more than a year after he had called it a day as a player, and embarked on a management career that sent him hurtling forward – although not to all the places he might have anticipated.
