Coventry City owner Doug King has confirmed that Frank Lampard is among the contenders for the Sky Blues head coach's job following last week's sacking of manager Mark Robins.
At an hour-long Fans Forum at the Coventry Building Society Arena, King faced some searching questions from impassioned supporters and stated the club had received a number of applications with the next appointment being "very important".
In a subsequent interview with Sky Sports, King then revealed that former Chelsea and England great Lampard had applied for the position.
"We’ve received a huge amount of CVs from high quality people, of which Frank is one," King said.
