Frank Lampard has signed a new deal with Coventry that is set to keep him with the Premier League side until 2029, it was announced Tuesday.
Lampard was in charge as the Sky Blues to English football’s top-flight for the first time in 25 years by winning last season’s second-tier Championship.
The 48-year-old former England midfielder took over at the Midlands club in November 2024 and helped them to a play-off finish in his first season in charge before losing out to Sunderland in the semi-finals.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract, it’s a real honour to represent this club,” said Lampard, already looking forward to the challenge of Premier League football.
Lampard, previously in charge of Chelsea, Everton and Derby, added: “After the incredible work of everybody to get promoted and win the Championship, it was important to enjoy the moment, and we certainly did as a city.
“Our job then as staff, and for the players of course, is to firstly recharge but also focus on what we want to do and what we need to for next season. There’s a lot of work to do on and off the pitch as a football club, so those things have been ongoing.
“I’m looking forward to getting back with the players, to see them all and get ready for the new season.”
Coventry have a tough start to their Premier League return, with Lampard’s team away to champions Arsenal on August 21.
