Former Chelsea boss Lampard returns to football after being jobless for a year

Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has gotten a new managerial position and is set to return to football.

Lampard had his first managerial breakthrough as the manager of Derby, leading them to the final of that season's Championship play-offs.

Following his breakthrough, he signed for Chelsea the following season but was sacked and left for Everton before returning to the Blues in the 2021-2022 season.

However, following his bad spell at Chelsea, he was left jobless and was out without a job for over a year and has been linked with several jobs, including becoming Canada's national team head coach.

Mark Robins was fired by Coventry earlier this month after seven years in command due to poor performance.

The club's poor performance this season has left the Sky Blues in 17th position on the table, with just four wins and eight losses in 17 games.

Following the sacking of Mark, the position for a new manager was open, with Lampard considered the favourite for the position.
