Coventry chairman unfazed by Lampard Chelsea links
Coventry City chairman Doug King insisted the club's fans should not worry about rumours linking Frank Lampard to the Chelsea job next season.
The former Chelsea midfielder and manager joined Coventry in November 2024, and while it was knocked out of the play-off semi-finals last season, it got across the line this time around.
Overall, Lampard has won 42 of his 73 Championship games in charge of the Sky Blues, boasting a 57.5 percent win rate and averaging 1.93 points per game.
He has had two previous spells managing Chelsea in the top-flight, one coming as interim boss, and Lampard won just 29 of his 66 games in the competition.
Chelsea sacked its manager, Liam Rosenior on Thursday, with the Blues failing to score in each of their last five league games, which all ended in defeat.
King, however, said there is no reason for Coventry fans to panic about Lampard's immediate future.
"He's done a fantastic job, it's been an incredible 18 months for us and for him," he enthused.
"I am sure he's in reflective mode. I said to him 'do not underestimate how difficult what you've just achieved is to do'.
"He's done huge things in his playing career but to get out of this league as champions without a parachute payment, from where we've come from, is a huge achievement nobody can take away from him.
"Everybody is going to get linked with everything, it's a merry-go-round. It's a bit disappointing clubs are appointing three or four managers a season.
"We don't want to be in those positions, that means something has gone a little bit astray.
"I just think he's happy, I'm happy, everybody's happy, we've just got smiles on our faces and we don't worry about what may or may not happen for the head coach."
