Coventry City have been inundated with applications for the position of the club’s new head coach, with notable names like Frank Lampard in the mix. Despite the rumors, club owner Doug King made it clear that there have been no discussions between him and Lampard. King’s statement seemed to downplay the speculation fueled by bookmakers who had placed Lampard as the front runner to replace the recently sacked Mark Robins.
When pressed for clarity on Lampard’s involvement, King acknowledged that they had received Lampard’s CV. However, he pointed out that Lampard’s managerial style may differ from what Coventry City is looking for in a head coach. King emphasized that they are actively seeking the right candidate for the job, with a collaborative effort from him, Dean Austin, and Dr. Claire-Marie Roberts.
King expressed confidence in the club’s appeal to potential candidates, citing their strong squad and excellent facilities at Ryton. He assured that the process of selecting the new head coach was well underway and that they were working towards making the best decision for the club’s future.
