Big news for Coventry City fans: Frank Lampard has just been named the new manager of the Championship side, stepping into the hot seat with a 2.5-year deal.
The announcement comes after the club parted ways with Mark Robins on November 7 following a rough run of form—seven losses in just 14 league games.
For those who’ve followed Coventry’s journey, Robins was a pivotal figure. First managing the team back in 2012-2013, he returned in 2017 and led the Sky Blues from League Two to the Championship, with two hard-fought promotions.
He nearly took them to the Premier League in 2023, falling short in a nail-biting playoff final against Luton Town.
Last season, he brought the team to another big stage—the FA Cup semifinal—but lost to Manchester United on penalties. Despite these achievements, Coventry’s recent struggles have left them sitting 17th in the table, 10 points away from the playoff spots.
