Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is back in the ring. We happily skip over the lows at Chelsea x 2 and Everton, and are happy that Lampard is in place at a club that kept its previous manager for a full seven years. On Thursday was the first day at work, a very enthusiastic Danish Coventry player tells about the first impression.
Danish Victor Torp left Sarpsborg 08 in 2023 after 46 games. Championship club Coventry opened the gate in January 2024, where the central midfielder has made 39 appearances. Danish Bold made a phone call to hear about Lampard’s first impressions.
“I’ve tried not to read so much in the media, but it’s clear that it’s hard to avoid. Now I have only met him briefly, but it seems like an exciting signing. Of course, I know him as a fantastic player, but he has also been a coach in both the Premier League and the Championship. It’s quite a big hire, I would say. I look forward to working with him, the former elite league player boasts

According to Torp, there is a lot of respect around Lampard because of his past performances.
“There is almost always respect around a coach, but you can feel that everyone knows who he is. However, he seems to be completely down to earth. I noticed quite quickly that he is very humble. He has come to help the team and the club, so that’s pretty cool,” says Torp.
Coventry are in 17th place in the Championship table going into Saturday’s game against Cardiff.
