FOOTBALL - Frank Lampard close to agreeing new long-term deal to extend Coventry City stay

FRANK Lampard is close to agreeing a new deal with Coventry City to extend his stay as the club’s head coach.

According to Sky Sports, talks over a new long-term deal to keep Lampard in the job are progressing between the head coach and the club.

Coventry appointed Lampard as head coach in November 2024 on an initial two-and-a-half year deal.

He guided the Sky Blues to the Championship title in his first full season in charge in 2025/26.

That came after Lampard took Coventry from 17th in the table to the play-offs after becoming Sky Blues boss midway through the 2024/25 campaign.

And after guiding Coventry back to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years, Lampard has attracted the attention of a number of other top flight clubs.




However, Coventry now appear close to tying Lampard down to a long-term deal which would see him remain as the club’s head coach for the seasons to come.

Lampard is entering the final year of his contract with the Sky Blues in 2026/27.
