Simon Jordan defends Frank Lampard's managerial record as he nears Coventry City role

Frank Lampard is reportedly close to becoming the new manager of Coventry City, following the recent dismissal of Mark Robins. Coventry owner Doug King confirmed that Lampard is among several candidates for the position. Lampard previously managed Derby County in the Championship, leading them to the play-off final in 2019. His later stints at Chelsea and Everton were less successful, resulting in significant criticism of his managerial abilities. Simon Jordan defended Lampard, stating that his past success in the Championship should be considered. He emphasized that any decision regarding Lampard's hiring should focus on his qualifications rather than his name recognition.
