Frank Lampard has signed a new contract with Coventry City that will keep him at the Premier League-bound club until 2029, the club announced.
The 48-year-old former England midfielder guided the Sky Blues to English football’s top flight for the first time in a quarter-century after winning the Championship title last season.
Lampard took over at the Midlands club in November 2024 and led them to a play-off finish in his first partial campaign, ultimately losing to Sunderland in the semi-finals before securing automatic promotion the following season.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract, it’s a real honour to represent this club,” Lampard said. “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.”
Lampard, who previously managed Chelsea, Everton, and Derby County, added: “I’m looking forward to getting back with the players, to see them all and get ready for the new season.”
Coventry face a daunting opener to their Premier League return, with Lampard’s side traveling to champions Arsenal on August 21 for their first top-flight fixture since the 2000–01 season.
The new deal secures Lampard’s long-term future at the club as Coventry prepare for the significant challenge of establishing themselves among English football’s elite.
