DEAN Saunders wants to see Frank Lampard take Coventry City into the Premier League.
The former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker wants to see more British managers in the top flight of English football.
And Saunders praised Lampard’s tactical style with the Sky Blues head coach able to play both direct and possession football.
Speaking to OLBG, Saunders said: “This season is going to be more difficult for him because he got the train going didn’t he, he got it going at the end but when you think of Coventry’s recent history you know they ended up playing at Northampton and Birmingham, it hasn’t been easy.
“Mark Robins took over then nearly got them into the Premier League. He did an unbelievable job. He’s loved at Coventry and for some reason they sacked him.
“They got Frank Lampard, who to be fair to him, he doesn’t need a job. I think he’s financially okay. But he wants to do it. He took over Derby first, then Chelsea. And he’s done a great job at Coventry.
“I’d like to see Frank get Coventry in the Premier League because how many British managers are managing in the Premier League? Off the top of my head, we’ve got David Moyes. I’m trying to think.
“I’d like to see Frank do well. I think Frank has got a mix of both. He’ll play, get it long, hit the front, go and support the front men, get it wide, cross it. I think that’s how he plays.”
