Frank Lampard's DOG said to hold key to success at Coventry as superstitious Chelsea legend takes up new managerial job

Championship

Coventry

Hull

<p>Lampard signed a two-and-a-half-year deal that will see him<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/frank-lampard-chelsea-legend-announced-as-new-coventry-city-boss/blte5405577fc667064" target="_blank"> take control of Championship side Coventry</a> as they look to survive the drop from England's second tier. In an effort to improve their form, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31993177/frank-lampard-manager-coventry-chelsea-dog/" target="_blank">reports say</a> the 46-year-old will continue some of his traditional routines from his time in charge of Chelsea, Everton and Derby. This includes walking his dog around the same route in the same park, visiting the same coffee shop and ensuring the routine is exactly the same to protect his team's fortunes. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Along with walking his beloved dog, Lampard will always spend 50 minutes on the exercise bike in an effort to will his team to success. It says a lot about him as a person and his<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/frank-lampard-risk-ambitious-coventry-chelsea-legend-avoid-repeat-wayne-rooney-birmingham-fiasco/blt1f2db94674ccc31c" target="_blank"> desire to achieve</a>. Coventry fans can only see this as a good indication of their new boss' drive and hunger. Lampard will have his work cut out for him on his return to the Championship but he has proven before that he is capable of competing at the top of the division. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lampard is set to take charge of his 200th game in management when he gets up and running with Coventry. A win on his debut this weekend could take his new club above Derby, where he began his journey in the dugout. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It is a huge first match for Lampard as he takes on Cardiff at home on Saturday. Their opponents are only one point behind the Sky Blues and could drag them closer to the relegation zone with a win. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR LAMPARD?
