Confirmed: Frank Lampard appointed Coventry manager

Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has returned to coaching. The 46-year-old has been appointed head coach of Championship side Coventry City.

Details: According to a club press release, Lampard has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. His first match in charge of the "Sky Blues" will be against Cardiff City this Saturday. Alongside him, his assistants Joe Edwards and Chris Jones have also joined the team.

Reminder: Coventry currently sit 17th in the Championship, just two points ahead of Hull City, who are in the relegation zone. They trail the playoff spots for promotion to the Premier League by ten points.

Lampard replaces Mark Robins, who was sacked last month. Over the course of his managerial career, Lampard has managed Derby County, Everton, and Chelsea, with his most notable success coming at Derby.
