Frank Lampard Committed to Coventry City Promotion Push

Frank Lampard, who guided Coventry City to last season’s play-off semi-finals, plans to stay at the CBS Arena despite being linked with Premier League jobs. Under him, Coventry have started the 2025-26 Championship strongly, sitting 5th with 8 points from 4 games. Lampard’s record stands at 20 wins in 39 matches with a 51 percent win rate.

As the 2025-26 Championship season gathers pace, Frank Lampard’s future at Coventry City has become a talking point, with speculation linking him to potential Premier League jobs. Lampard, who guided Coventry to last season’s play-offs before losing to Sunderland in the semi-finals, has overseen a strong start this campaign. His side remain unbeaten after four games, sitting fifth with two wins, two draws, and 14 goals scored, the highest tally in the division.

Despite previous top-flight interest, including Southampton before they chose Will Still, Lampard opted to stay at Coventry. The club backed him in the summer, keeping key players Jack Rudoni and striker Haji Wright, both central to his promotion push. According to Chief Football Correspondent Graeme Bailey, Lampard is expected to remain at the CBS Arena for the full season rather than chase a mid-season Premier League move.

Lampard’s record since taking charge shows 20 wins, seven draws, and 12 defeats in 39 matches, a 51 percent win rate and 1.7 points per game. Coventry face Norwich next, a club Lampard once rejected, with striker Josh Sargent chasing his 50th Championship goal. Promotion remains his priority, though a Premier League return could be on the horizon next summer.
