Coventry City Eye Derby County Boss as Lampard Exit Rumours Grow Coventry City are reportedly putting plans in place in case Frank Lampard leaves the club this summer, with interest in his services continuing to rise.

Lampard has been a huge success since replacing Mark Robins in November 2024, guiding Coventry to the top of the Championship table. The Sky Blues currently sit on 84 points, holding a strong 12-point lead over second-placed Ipswich Town with only four games left to play.

Promotion to the Premier League now looks almost certain, which would mark the club’s return to the top flight after 25 years away. They could even confirm promotion this weekend if results go in their favour.

However, uncertainty remains over Lampard’s future, with ongoing speculation linking him to a possible return to Chelsea. If he does leave, Coventry are expected to act quickly.

Reports suggest that Derby County manager John Eustace is the leading candidate to replace him. Eustace has impressed with his work at Derby and is viewed as a steady and reliable option who could maintain the club’s current momentum.

While the focus remains on securing promotion, Coventry are already preparing for the possibility of change, determined to ensure stability no matter what happens in the coming months.
