‘We’re going to give it everything’ – Lampard signs new deal with Coventry | OneFootball

Frank Lampard has penned a new contract as Coventry City boss ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Lampard led Coventry to the Championship title last season, and was linked with several other jobs this summer.

But the former England and Chelsea midfielder has committed his future to the club and says he is relishing the challenge ahead.

“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.

“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.”
