DEAL DONE:Frank Lampard terminate his contract with Coventry City and set to join Rangers..
Frank Lampard has enjoyed an excellent season so far with Coventry City and has led his side to the top of the Championship table.
The Sky Blues sit top of the league after nine games, with five wins and four draws during which they have scored a massive 27 goals, averaging three per game.
As a result of their fast start, Football Insider revealed on 5 September that West Ham sounded out Lampard to replace Graham Potter in what would have been a controversial move.
Instead, the Hammers opted to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo following his departure from Nottingham Forest, leaving Lampard safe in his job at Coventry.
A number of other top sides are believed to have taken note of his side’s recent form, however, leading to speculation about his long-term future at the CBS Arena.
Frank Lampard to snub Rangers in favour of Coventry stay
Reports have claimed Lampard was sounded out by Rangers as a potential replacement for Russell Martin, who was sacked following their 1-1 draw with Falkirk.
However, the boss is not interested in leaving Coventry as things stand and has no plans to pursue other opportunities away from the Championship leaders.
That is according to former Coventry coach and Man United chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Lampard is not interested in taking over at Rangers in their current state.
“Lampard has no intention of leaving Coventry any time soon,” he told Football Insider.
“Him walking out of there and going to Rangers would be suicide, he’d be stepping away from a really good thing he’s got going, into a disaster.
“At Coventry, they’re top of the league, the team is doing well and scoring plenty of goals.
“I’m sure if another job came up, there might be discussions at Coventry about their ambitions and where they want to go to build on their success so far.
“But the Rangers job won’t be as appealing to him as maybe it would have been in the past.
