2-0! 46-year-old Lampard is so amazing: he has advanced 17th in the Championship to 5th, and the Super League playoffs are released

On the evening of May 3, the final round of the English Championship this season ended. In the championship battle, a rare scene occurred. Leeds United and Burnley scored 100 points, and Leeds United won the championship with a goal difference. In addition, in the competition for playoff qualifications, Lampard's coached Coventry team successfully made a comeback. 2-0! The 46-year-old Lampard is so amazing: he has been ranked 17th in the Championship to 5th, and the Super League playoffs are released.

Before the 46th round, Coventry coached by Lampard and Middlesbrough led by Carrick both had the chance to enter the top 6, and two former England internationals are now fighting in the head coach position. Coventry played at home in this game, and finally defeated Middlesbrough with midfielder Roodoni scored one goal in the first and second half, and two goals appeared in the 44th and 87th minutes respectively. In the English Championship standings, Sheffield United ranked third with 90 points, Sunderland ranked fourth with 76 points, Coventry ranked fifth with 69 points, and Bristol City ranked sixth with 68 points. Their four teams will play the playoffs. Among them, Coventry's first round opponent is Sunderland, who plays two rounds and decides the winner in a single game in the playoff final. Middlesbrough has 64 points, ranking 10th.

The final of the English Championship play-off can be called the most valuable single football game in the world, because as long as it is promoted to the Premier League, the team's marketing, event bonuses, media copyrights, etc. in next season will have an astonishing total revenue of £120 million with the current operating level of the Premier League. The income obtained from participating in the Premier League is completely different from the Championship. Coventry now has the opportunity to return to the Premier League and thus obtain rich operating income. The team's head coach Lampard made an indelible contribution to the current ranking at the end of the season. Lampard took over Coventry at the end of November last year. Coventry ranked only 17th in the Championship, only 2 points more than Hull City in the relegation zone. Relegation was a problem at that time. Under Lampard's coaching, Coventry performed well in the English Championship with 16 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses, and was qualified for the Super League play-off.

It is worth mentioning that Lampard's coaching career began in Derby County. He led Derby County to the final of the Championship play-offs in the 18-19 season, and unfortunately lost to Villa 1-2 and failed to upgrade. Mount was loaned to Derby County by Chelsea and made progress under Lampard. Lampard performed mediocrely when coaching in Premier League Chelsea and Everton, but showed excellent levels in the Championship. If Lampard can help Coventry return to the Premier League (the last time he played in the Premier League was in 2001 and lost the final of the Championship playoffs in 2023), then he will achieve a qualitative breakthrough in the coaching position and be more influential.
