The opening match of the new Premier League season is about to kick off, featuring defending champions Arsenal and newly promoted Coventry City. This match holds special significance for Coventry manager Frank Lampard, as it marks his return to managing a team in the Premier League after a three-year absence.

Lampard's managerial career began with Championship side Derby County. After two years, he moved to his former club Chelsea, where he successfully guided them into the top four. He subsequently managed Everton before returning to Chelsea as interim manager.

The last time Lampard managed a Premier League team was in June 2023, when Chelsea drew 1-1 with Newcastle United in his final match in charge.

Last season, Lampard led Coventry City to promotion from the Championship, and today marks a significant moment as he returns to the Premier League dugout after three years.
