But he is now in line to return to the dugout with the Championship outfit, according to The Telegraph.

Coventry made the surprise decision to sack manager Mark Robins earlier this month.

Lampard, 46, is said to be keen to resume his coaching career with the right opportunity.

He previously guided Derby to the Championship play-offs finals in 2019, but lost out on promotion to Aston Villa.

The Sky Blues owner Doug King is said to have a link to the Redknapp family.

Former Tottenham, Portsmouth and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp is Lampard’s uncle.
