Frank Lampard: Coventry City appoint ex-England midfielder
After Chelsea, he had a season at Manchester City, under Manuel Pellegrini, and one campaign in America with MLS side New York City.
Following his official retirement as a player in February 2017, Lampard began his managerial career in the Championship with Derby County in the summer of 2018.
He almost guided the Rams to promotion in his first season, only to lose 2-1 to Aston Villa in the play-off final at Wembley in May 2019 – but it was enough to attract his former club Chelsea.
Just 38 days later, he returned to Chelsea as manager on a three-year contract.
He did so, giving consistent senior opportunities to the likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Reece James and Fikayo Tomori as they finished fourth in his first season in charge.
But the closest he came to winning a trophy was losing to Arsenal in the 2020 FA Cup final – and, despite a 52% win ratio, he was sacked in January 2021 and replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
Lampard returned to the Premier League a year later when he was appointed by Everton and managed to secure their top-flight status at the end of the 2021-22 season.
But his spell on Merseyside lasted just under 12 months, when he was sacked in January 2023.
He then returned to Chelsea again as interim boss two months later for the final few weeks of the 2022-23 season after the departure of Graham Potter, but lost eight of his 11 games in charge and won only once.
