On August 22 (BST), Arsenal will face promoted Coventry in the Premier League opener. Following Frank Lampard's pre-match interview, Sky Sports pundits Carragher and Neville discussed the topic of Frank Lampard.

Host: Frank Lampard is back! Jamie, as we just looked back, the last time he was here as manager was his second spell at Chelsea, which was a difficult experience for him, but will this experience make him better?

Carragher: Absolutely, experiences like these will make him a better manager. Look, most managers, whoever they are, go through these things. Football is like a rollercoaster. Whether you're a player or a manager. Unless you're an absolute elite player or manager, very few people can win or perform well every week.

What Frank Lampard has done for me is bounce back from several setbacks and prove that he's a really good manager. As I said a few weeks ago, I hope they do well this season. But I think he will be England manager in the future. I genuinely believe that, and I say that because I firmly believe the England manager should be English.

Think about the teams he's managed and the jobs he's taken on. He's won trophies, saved Everton from relegation, took Coventry into the Premier League, nearly took Derby County into the Premier League, and had a good first season at Chelsea. And as you said, he came back to Chelsea, and at that time I was covering Chelsea matches, and it was really difficult to watch. In the end, that was his last spell at Chelsea, but these experiences have shaped his managerial style today.

Don't forget the criticism he received when he first took over Coventry. Mark Robins did a great job there, so I think bringing in Frank was a brave decision. But for Frank himself, it also took courage to follow in the footsteps of a manager who was hugely respected and loved by the fans. Most managers come in when fans want the previous manager gone and want to remove them quickly, and new managers usually have a "honeymoon period," but that wasn't the case when Frank arrived at Coventry.

Neville: Honestly, the easiest thing for him would have been to sit in front of the TV, earn big money, give his opinions, and not worry about management. Really, people who do that are just embarrassing. But truly, I was really happy when he took this job. Because many of the players we played with in the England team tried management, but it's a really tough job and it's difficult to establish yourself.

It usually looks like there aren't second chances, or even third chances, but he tried again and this time he's succeeded. And it's remarkable that he was able to do that. I'm happy for him. Really happy for him. Because when he took the Everton job, it was really... difficult, and Chelsea was the same.

Ian Wright: Yes, he didn't take the easy route. As you said, when he came to Coventry, the team was in 17th place, just a few points above the relegation zone. When he took over, the previous manager Mark Robins was hugely loved by the fans, led the team through all sorts of difficult times, and achieved great results. Frank did the same.

Like Gary said, he could have had it easy. What could he have done... well, I'm not talking rubbish. He could have just relaxed and taken it easy. But instead he's here managing and putting himself on the line again. I'm happy for him. Genuinely happy for him.
