Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has signed a new contract with the club until 2029.
The 48-year-old took charge of the Sky Blues in November 2024 and guided them to victory in the Championship last season, securing the club's return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years.
The club say the former Chelsea midfielder has built a strong connection with supporters, staff and the City of Coventry over the course of his tenure.
Speaking about signing a new contact with the club Lampard said: " “I’m delighted to have signed a new contract, it’s a real honour to represent this club.
“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 on going.
“I’m looking forward to getting back with the players, to see them all and get ready for the new season.
“I’d like to thank everyone at the football club. The fans first and foremost for how they’ve supported the team, myself and my staff in allowing us to get to where we’ve got to. The spirit and togetherness we created last year was something great to be part of and now we want to continue it.
“Thank you to Doug King as well for giving me the opportunity to come to this football club and for his support of us. We work together and we know there’s a lot to do but we’re going to give it everything.”
Owner and Executive Chairman Doug King added: “I am absolutely delighted that Frank and his team have “signed the contract,” so to speak.
"Since arriving in November 2024, our club has been on a huge upward trajectory under his leadership and it is absolutely fitting after Championship glory last season that he leads us into our first Premier League season for a generation.”
