Ex-Chelsea manager Frank Lampard returned to football on Thursday when he was hired to coach Coventry City in the second division. The 46-year-old Lampard signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. Lampard would bring a “clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level,” Coventry owner Doug King said.

Lampard has been out of work since June last year, the end of an interim spell in charge of Chelsea. He previously managed the English Premier League club in 2019-21 and followed that with less than a year at Everton.

He also has experience of the second tier of English football, having begun his managerial career with Derby. The move to Coventry is a step down for Lampard.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
