Former Chelsea player and Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard named the coach who had the greatest influence on his career:

"That is Jose Mourinho and his character.

The biggest impression I remember about this coach is how much confidence he gave me. I remember how he conveyed that to me.”

"I was a bit humble, and he said: ‘You have to accept it, you have to work harder.

J. Mourinho is also determined to be a winner: ‘We don’t lose, that’s what we do.’

"So, I took that away from him, but I definitely can’t be like Jose or Carlo Ancelotti, because that’s just not me.”

Coventry City returned to the English Premier League after a 25-year hiatus.

Frank Lampard has been managing this team since November 28, 2024.
