"Frank Lampard is no stranger to the gruelling 46-game Championship season but there's a long way to fall when there's nothing above but the Premier League. Lampard was appointed as the successor to Mark Robins in the autumn of 2024 with a Championship play-off final already listed among his EFL achievements. He took Coventry to within a whisker of Wembley in his first season in charge of the Sky Blues but 2025-26 is a whole different challenge."
"Arriving on a bright and bracing Sunday morning at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, their own temporary home in relatively recent and bleaker times, Coventry were eight points clear of Ipswich Town at the top of the table.

Frank Lampard and Coventry City lead the Championship despite a three-match winless run and ongoing pressure to sustain their promotion push. Lampard was appointed successor to Mark Robins in autumn 2024 after reaching a Championship play-off final among his EFL achievements. He took Coventry to within a whisker of Wembley in his first season. The 2025-26 campaign presents a different challenge amid heightened expectations. Coventry were eight points clear of Ipswich Town while using St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park as a temporary home. The Sky Blues are red-hot favourites for promotion after a formidable first half, though an early January setback narrowed their buffer. Coventry have reached the top flight only once, winning the Second Division in 1967 under Jimmy Hill and remaining there until 2001.
