With Marco Silva leaving Fulham, there are rumours that Chelsea legend Frank Lampard could ditch Coventry City for a chance in London.
Marco Silva’s extensive links to the Chelsea hot seat evaporated following Xabi Alonso’s arrival, and he’s now set to take over at Benfica.
Meanwhile, Chelsea icon Frank Lampard has completely turned his life around, becoming one of the most sought-after English managers after a promotion-winning season with Coventry City.
This resounding success serves as the ultimate redemption arc following his brutal sacking at Chelsea, where Roman Abramovich dismissed him mid-season, proving that a step away from the Stamford Bridge pressure cooker was exactly what he needed.

Frank Lampard linked with the Fulham job
According to TeamTalk, one candidate under consideration, albeit difficult to pull off, is Coventry City manager Frank Lampard.
At this stage, no final decision has been made, and Fulham are expected to speak with multiple candidates before narrowing down their options.
It’s believed that the Cottagers are keen to move swiftly; however, preparations for next season are already underway, and recruitment plans need clarity.
This comes after Lampard was linked to the managerial role at Chelsea after Liam Rosenior’s departure.

It’s an easy decision for Frank Lampard to make
Frank Lampard should resist any temptation to replace Marco Silva at Fulham, choosing instead to remain at Coventry City and continue building his project.
Returning to West London would plunge him right back into a volatile, high-pressure environment with immediate expectations, mirroring the conditions that derailed his previous top-flight stints.
At Coventry, Lampard has total squad harmony, massive credit with the fans, and the rare opportunity to lead a hungry, unified group into the top flight on his own terms. Staying with the Sky Blues allows him to establish genuine managerial longevity and test himself once again in the Premier League.
