FLORENT Malouda believes Coventry City’s players are looking up to ‘leader’ former teammate and Sky Blues head coach Frank Lampard.
Malouda and Lampard played together for five seasons at Chelsea, winning the Champions League, Premier League, three FA Cup’s and a Community Shield.
And Malouda feels Coventry’s players are looking up to Lampard just as he did when playing alongside the midfielder.
Malouda was speaking to BoyleSports, who provide the latest Champions League betting, and he said: “When he took over, you could see that his character really matched Coventry City and he brought that energy.
“I always see his celebrations and I feel like I’ve never seen him so happy.
“As a manager, to go and celebrate with the fans like that, I’ve never seen him like this.
“It feels like he’s still young as a manager, and the way he transfers his energy to the players is converted into results.
“So it’s good that they started well, but you know that the Championship is a very long season.
“So it’s about how long he can sustain this type of energy because what he’s showing now is his leadership.
“Players looked up to him when he was at Chelsea as a leader.
“As a manager, it feels like players in Coventry are looking up to him. So it’s nice to see and inspiring.”
