Coventry’s chairman Doug King has reassured fans that they should not worry about Frank Lampard returning to his former club.
Lampard has guided Coventry back to the Premier League and sealed the title with a 5-1 win over Portsmouth on Tuesday night.
King told BBC CWR: “He’s done a fantastic job, it’s been an incredible 18 months for us and for him. I am sure he’s in reflective mode. I said to him ‘do not underestimate how difficult what you’ve just achieved is to do’.
“He’s done huge things in his playing career but to get out of this league as champions without a parachute payment, from where we’ve come from, is a huge achievement nobody can take away from him.
“Everybody is going to get linked with everything, it’s a merry-go-round. It’s a bit disappointing clubs are appointing three or four managers a season.
“We don’t want to be in those positions, that means something has gone a little bit astray. You can see how emotionally connected [Lampard] is with the city, you can see what it meant to him to get promotion and then the title and I think he’s found a happy place at the moment.
“It doesn’t mean there’s not going to be some staggering bid for him in the summer and he’ll have to make his choices, because he’s shown his credentials as a high quality head coach, but I’m not going to comment on that, I can’t control it.
“I just think he’s happy, I’m happy, everybody’s happy, we’ve just got smiles on our faces and we don’t worry about what may or may not happen for the head coach.”
On Wednesday, Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior.
