After 25 years of waiting, Coventry secured their return to the Premier League on Friday evening with a draw on Blackburn’s pitch (1-1). Led by Frank Lampard, the club had been relegated to the English second division in 2001.
A man who knows the Premier League inside out, with 609 matches in the elite English football, Frank Lampard will make his grand return to the top division, this time as a coach. The English coach guided Coventry to the Premier League after the club had not experienced the elite status for 25 years.
Just one point was enough on Friday evening on Blackburn’s pitch (1-1) to ensure Coventry’s promotion.

After being promoted to the Championship in 2020, the Sky Blue Army supporters had to wait an additional six years to celebrate their grand return to the Premier League.
