Frank Lampard in advanced talks over first management job in 18 months with announcement expected imminently
FRANK LAMPARD is in advanced talks to take over at Coventry City, according to reports.
The Chelsea legend has been without a management job for nearly 18 months since leaving his spell as interim manager of the Blues in 2023.
But he is now in line to return to the dugout with the Championship outfit, according to The Telegraph.
Coventry made the surprise decision to sack manager Mark Robins earlier this month.
Lampard, 46, is said to be keen to resume his coaching career with the right opportunity.
He previously guided Derby to the Championship play-offs finals in 2019, but lost out on promotion to Aston Villa.
The Sky Blues owner Doug King is said to have a link to the Redknapp family.
Former Tottenham, Portsmouth and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp is Lampard’s uncle.
