Frank Lampard Tipped As Ideal Successor To Thomas Tuchel As England Manager

Frank Lampard’s Managerial Journey Seems To Be Taking A Promising Turn Once Again — And Now, His Name Is Being Whispered As A Future England Managerial Candidate.

Former Coventry City Striker Matt Jansen Has Suggested That Lampard Would Be The Perfect Successor To Current Boss Thomas Tuchel, Especially Given His Ongoing Success With Championship Promotion Hopefuls Coventry City.

Lampard, Who Once Graced The Pitch As A Chelsea And England Legend, Is Quietly Rebuilding His Reputation As A Coach. His Current Coventry Side Remain Unbeaten At The Top Of The Championship, Signaling A Remarkable Turnaround After He Inherited The Team In Struggling Form.

Jansen, Speaking To GOAL, Praised Lampard’s Progress:

“He’s Doing Fantastic. Coventry Were In The Bottom Half When He Took Over, And Now They’re Top Of The League. If They Get Promoted, He Might Just Be Head-Hunted — And England Would Be A Great Fit For Him. The Respect He Commands From Players Is Unquestionable.”

Lampard’s Coaching Career Has Been A Mix Of Highs And Lows — From His Early Success At Derby County, To His Youth-Driven Spell At Chelsea, To A Difficult Stint At Everton. But His Current Revival With Coventry Suggests He’s Evolving As A Manager Capable Of Leading On Bigger Stages.

With Thomas Tuchel’s Contract Running Until The End Of The 2026 World Cup, The Speculation Around England’s Future Manager Is Already Building. And Lampard, Given His Leadership, Experience, And Deep Understanding Of The English Game, Could Be The Perfect Successor.

Alongside Lampard, Other England Legends Like Steven Gerrard, Jermain Defoe, And Ashley Cole Are Also Carving Their Paths In Coaching — Keeping The Dream Of “An English Legend At The Helm” Very Much Alive.
