Frank Lampard wins LMA Manager of the Year after Coventry promotion

Frank Lampard has been named the League Managers Association Manager of the Year after leading Coventry City back to the Premier League. The award recognises his achievement in securing top-flight promotion for the Championship club.

Frank Lampard has been awarded the League Managers Association (LMA) Manager of the Year prize following a remarkable season in which he guided Coventry City back to the Premier League for the first time in decades.

The former England international and Chelsea legend took charge at Coventry and steered the Championship side through a promotion campaign that culminated in the club's return to English football's top flight. The LMA recognised his work as the standout managerial achievement of the season.

Lampard, who has previously managed Chelsea and Everton at Premier League level, has now added a major individual honour to what many consider the defining achievement of his managerial career so far. Coventry's promotion marks a significant moment for a club with a rich history that had long been absent from the Premier League.
