Frank Lampard set for Derby County reunion after landing new job
Former Derby County manager Frank Lampard has been confirmed as the new head coach of Coventry City and faces a Rams reunion later this season.
Lampard succeeds Mark Robins as manager at the Sky Blues after he was sacked after more than seven years in charge with the axe falling after a defeat to Derby earlier this month.
Lampard takes over with Coventry 17th in the Championship, two points above the relegation zone and it is his first return to the dugout since he left Chelsea as interim boss 18 months ago.

The Stamford Bridge legend has only had one season with Derby in 2018 when, inpsired by some excellent loan signings in Harry Wilson, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori, he guided them to the playoff final at Wembley only to miss out on promotion to the Premier League after losing to Aston Villa.
He has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club and will be assisted by Joe Edwards and Chris Jones, who he has worked with previously.
Coventry City Owner and Executive Chairman Doug King said: "I am delighted that Frank Lampard has agreed to join our club as Head Coach. Frank cut his teeth in the Championship and knows what is needed in this League to be successful.
“His experiences thereafter at Chelsea and Everton will ensure he brings to our talented squad clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level that we as a Club are striving to reach.”
Lampard will officially be unveiled in a press conference on Thursday afternoon. His return to Pride Park will come in March when Derby host Coventry in the Championship.
