Chelsea supporters have backed Frank Lampard to get his managerial career “back on track” after he has become a favourite to take over at Coventry City.

Lampard is the current frontrunner to replace Mark Robins, and Football Insider revealed the club are keen to hire a big name to appease fans who are angry about the ongoing situation.

Robins had guided Coventry from being a League Two side to getting into the top half of the Championship within seven years and was fondly thought of.

Lampard has been out of management since his disastrous interim spell with Chelsea in 2023, but he did impress during his initial time in charge of the Blues by securing them Champions League football while having a transfer ban.

The former England international also guided Everton to Premier League safety and came close to winning promotion from the Championship during his time with Derby County in 2018-19.

Derby ultimately lost to Aston Villa in the playoff final that year, but it did provide him with experience working in the Championship.

Chelsea fans believe the Coventry job could be what Frank Lampard needs

Lampard remains a popular figure with Chelsea fans due to his playing career at the club, and supporters believe that he’s good enough as a manager to find success with the Sky Blues.

Hot take, Lampard is nowhere near as bad as people make out, and could still end up being a good manager. https://t.co/V75af5Glkp

Yes, has a second tier success and a top tier failure in his experience bank.
While fans will simply obsess over the failure, both are equally valuable. https://t.co/Sau5o2lqQo

Did a brilliant job at Derby, has plenty of top flight experience and plays attacking football which suits the squad we have.
