Frank Lampard has been appointed as new manager of Championship side Coventry City.
The announcement was made on Thursday as the former England midfielder aims to rebuild his coaching career.
Coventry sit 17th in the English second tier and controversially sacked Mark Robins, who led them to the FA Cup semi-finals last season, earlier this month.
Lampard has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and will take charge for the first time at home to Cardiff City on Saturday.
“I am delighted that Frank Lampard has agreed to join our club as head coach,” said Coventry owner Doug King.
“Frank cut his teeth in the Championship and knows what is needed in this league to be successful.
“His experiences thereafter at Chelsea and Everton will ensure he brings to our talented squad clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level that we as a club are striving to reach.”
