Frank Lampard 'closing on next job' amid Roma, Coventry City speculation

Coventry City are allegedly pushing to appoint Frank Lampard as the successor to long-serving boss Mark Robins.

Last week, the Sky Blues announced that they had opted to part ways with the 54-year-old, who had been in charge since 2017.

The decision was taken with Coventry sitting in the bottom half of the Championship table, the club's hierarchy ignoring the recent near-misses with promotion to the Premier League and FA Cup final.

Criticism has followed the call to remove Robins from the dugout, and interim head coach Rhys Carr led Coventry to a 2-2 draw away at leaders Sunderland at the weekend.

With two weeks until the next first-team fixture, Coventry's board will want a permanent alternative in place for the next meeting with Sheffield United on November 23.

Coventry to win Lampard race?

A report emerged suggesting that Wycombe Wanderers' Matt Bloomfield was a leading candidate to leave the League One leaders for Coventry.

Furthermore, Lampard has been heavily linked with the Roma job, which became vacant on Sunday when Ivan Juric was removed from his position in the dugout.

Nevertheless, as per The Mirror, Lampard is viewed as the top candidate by Coventry and is more likely to move to the Midlands outfit.

The report suggests that the former Chelsea, Everton and Derby County boss is the preferred option of owner Doug King.

The right job for Lampard?

If this appointment is made, it will naturally divide opinion among the Coventry fanbase given how highly that Robins was regarded.

There will be differing perspectives as to how Lampard fared at Chelsea and Everton. Some will point to Champions League qualification and Premier League survival as positives given the contexts of those respective reigns.

Others will suggest that the former England midfielder failed to get the most out of both squads, similarly like at his one and only Championship campaign with Derby County.

That said, the Rams only missed out on promotion in 2018-19 through losing to Aston Villa in the playoff final, hardly the under-achievement that it sometimes gets made out to be.
