Frank Lampard joins the Sky Blues after a disastrous spell at Chelsea where he oversaw one win and eight defeats. That was preceded by an awful period as Everton manager.

Frank Lampard is on a mission to “prove people wrong” after making his return to management with Coventry City.

Ex-Chelsea manager Frank Lampard returned to soccer on Thursday when he was hired to coach Coventry City in the second division. The 46-year-old Lampard signed a 2 1/2-year contract. Lampard would bring a “clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level,” Coventry owner Doug King said.
