“ Frank Lampard “

Frank Lampard is named Coventry City's new manager as the former Chelsea boss returns to the dugout 18 months after leaving Stamford Bridge

Lampard is an interesting one. Haven't decided whether I think he's a good manager at this level or not.

Derby - did alright but should really have got promoted with that squad

Chelsea - took the job far too early but didn't do as bad as others

Everton - did well at first to keep them up but then it all fell apart


But there will be a big buzz around Coventry on Saturday with him just being appointed, not ideal for us.

Could work in our favour but not optimistic given our lack of cutting edge..

Nice easy three points for him on Saturday then. Just a question of how many goals they want. In a way, getting thrashed may finally push Tan into doing something. Not sure Lampard is good choice from them though. Wouldn't want him at City.

I don’t think he’s all that tbh.

He won’t last long at all , I’d give him 4 months and he will be gone
But I can see them beating us Saturday, confidence has gone back to shit with our players ,

Speaking in his first press conference with the Sky Blues' media team, Lampard said: "I’m absolutely delighted to be here, a club that I’ve got huge respect for in terms of its history and tradition.

"I grew up in eras where Coventry have been very successful. To be given the role of head coach is a huge deal for me, to come in and try and help with the good work and foundations I think have already been laid at the club.

"It’s an ambitious club that wants to move forward and I want to help as much as I can."

Speaking about what brand of football Coventry fans can expect to see, Lampard added: "In time I want to bring an exciting attacking team for them to see. A possession-based team that wants to attack and attack quickly at times. I want to excite the fans. That is certainly what I want to work towards.

"There are some things that we will want to move forward with and (some) that will maybe change, and understanding that in that process we will have to get a lot of work in to get the results we want. But, I'm ready to put that work in to pass the message on to the players and, hopefully, that will show through onto the pitch."

Finally, Lampard expressed his gratitude to Doug King for offering him the opportunity and shared his excitement about connecting with the fans in the coming weeks as he begins this new chapter.
