Frank Lampard has been named the new manager of Championship side Coventry City.
The announcement was made on Thursday as the former England midfielder looks to rebuild his coaching career.
Coventry are 17th in the English second division and controversially sacked Mark Robins, who led them to the FA Cup semi-finals last season, earlier this month.
Lampard has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and will take charge for the first time at home to Cardiff City on Saturday.
“I am delighted that Frank Lampard has agreed to join our club as head coach.” said Coventry owner Doug King.
“Frank started in the championship and knows what it takes in this league to be successful.
“His subsequent experiences at Chelsea and Everton will ensure that he brings to our talented team a clear understanding of exactly what it takes to succeed at the highest level that we, as a club, strive to achieve.”
