Coventry City is reportedly close to appointing Chelsea star Frank Lampard as their new manager.
According to Sky Sports, an agreement in principle has been struck, with the two parties working out the final details.
Lampard is thought to want to add some of his own individuals to the Championship club’s backroom staff.
Sky Sports News revealed last week that Lampard and Derby County manager was the frontrunner for the job and that talks had reached an advanced stage.
He is expected to be in charge for the upcoming game at home to Cardiff on Saturday.
It is the 46-year-old’s first job since leaving an interim role at Chelsea in May 2023.
Coventry are 17th in the table after sacking Mark Robins, who was the longest-serving manager in the EFL before his sudden exit.
It is understood Ruud van Nistelrooy also applied for the job after his short interim spell as Man United manager ended
