Frank Lampard: Burnley interview manager duo as appointment close – sources
Frank Lampard is one of multiple candidates that Burnley have interviewed for their vacant manager’s job, sources have told Football Insider.
It is understood the Clarets interviewed four candidates on Wednesday and another two on Friday as they close in on an appointment.
Despite being one of the bookmakers’ favourites for the vacancy, former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior is believed to now be out of the running.
West Brom boss Carlos Corberan is another who has been interviewed for the job in addition to Lampard – who has been out of a job since he left Chelsea at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Corberan led the Baggies to fifth in the Championship last season before they fell short in the play-offs with a 3-1 defeat to Southampton.
Burnley hold talks with Corberan and Lampard as manager appointment closes in
Burnley are looking to replace Vincent Kompany ahead of the upcoming Championship campaign with the Belgian boss departing Turf Moor to join Bayern Munich this summer.
The German giants paid a reported £10.2million to release Kompany from his contract and hire him last month.
Lampard recently spoke to talkSPORT about a return to management, stating that he was “keen to get working again”.
Burnley will likely want a new manager in charge ahead of the club’s pre-season trip to Lisbon where they will partake in a week-long training camp.
