Coventry City next manger candidate will be 'desperate' to manage 'big club'
Frank Lampard will be ‘desperate’ to prove himself a managerial success if he is appointed as Mark Robins’ replacement.
That’s the view of former West Brom and Wolves striker – and Sky Sports pundit – Don Goodman who has warned Coventry City fans will need to be patient with the 46-year-old if he comes to the CBS Arena after nearly 18 months out of the game.
Lampard has had two spells in charge of Chelsea, the second of which went badly, and time at Derby County and Everton in a career that is so far lacking a keynote achievement. If he is to be handed the keys to Coventry, Goodman says he be will under intense scrutiny.

Goodman told Gambling Zone : “Frank Lampard has had experience managing in the Championship with Derby County but whoever comes in at Coventry City is up against it from the off. They're going to have to get results instantly, so it doesn't matter if it's a big name like Frank Lampard or someone nobody has heard of. The situation remains the same given the popularity of Mark Robins.
“Frank's had it tough in management, particularly at Everton. He'll be desperate to prove that he's capable of managing another big club like Coventry. So if it is to be Frank Lampard, I just hope the fans are patient with him, give him time and accept that he will give everything to get Coventry City to the Premier League.
“Coventry have a squad that should be challenging for a play-off spot and the league is quite congested at the moment. The next 15 games will be decisive for Coventry City and their new head coach. That's when we’ll have a better idea what they could potentially achieve this season.
“It's a great job at a great club with a great fan base and a squad of players really capable of operating in the upper echelons of the Championship. Whoever takes over, the hierarchy will be desperate they get off to a good start, as in my opinion, there will be more scrutiny and pressure on them as opposed to the head coach, given the decision they’ve made.”
