Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has reportedly agreed a deal to become the new manager of Leeds United and Sheffield United’s rivals Coventry City.
Coventry have been on the hunt for a new manager since they sent shockwaves through the pyramid by axing Mark Robins.
He had overseen a spectacular rise from League Two to the Championship, but paid the price for a sluggish start to the campaign.
Lampard was among the names immediately circulated as a potential successor and he appears to be closing in on the job.
An appointment would mark a return to management for Lampard, who has been away from the dugout since the end of his spell as Chelsea’s caretaker manager last year.
He first stepped into management with Derby County in 2018, leading the Rams into the Championship play-off final in his first term.
