Pep Guardiola made his Frank Lampard feelings clear as he’s tipped to become Rangers boss

It has been stated that Rangers should make every effort to get Frank Lampard, who has the support of Pep Guardiola,

one of the greatest managers in the game.

The ascension of Frank Lampard, the manager of Coventry City, who Ally McCoist believes would be an ideal Rangers

manager, will not come as a surprise to Pep Guardiola.

Lampard, 46, has led Coventry from 17th to fifth place in the Championship and is experiencing an amazing run of success.

The Sky Blues defeated Stoke City, who are led by Lampard’s predecessor Mark Robins, 3-2 on Saturday to achieve their

ninth win in ten games and their fifth consecutive victory.

Although Barry Ferguson was named interim manager, it has not yet been decided who will fully replace Philippe Clement, who was fired.

McCoist, a legend of the Gers, believes the Coventry manager would be a perfect substitute. Guardiola would probably concur

with the TNT Sports and talkSPORT analyst, who said Lampard will be among the greatest managers of his generation.

“Frank Lampard was an extraordinary football player, and he will be an extraordinary manager,” Guardiola stated when Lampard was still Chelsea’s manager.

I’m thrilled to see his squad, and he had a great season.

“They are the elite of European football. When you start as a manager, you have a passion and no fears.

You take decisions without compromise, which he has done by giving opportunities to the young,

talented players Chelsea have because his academy in the last five or 10 years has done really well.”

Lampard’s managerial reputation was in ruins following a terrible second stint at Chelsea, during which he only managed one win in 11 games.

When he succeeded Robins, there was little confidence or anticipation in him, and the

Coventry supporters were mostly saddened and incensed at his dismissal.

His name is currently being sung by the Sky Blues fans, and their team is on course to qualify for the playoffs.

Ex-Gers manager Steven Gerrard, who left Saudi Arabian team Al-Ettifaq at the end of January, has also been rumoured to

make an emotional comeback, while Lampard has been linked to a move to Ibrox.

However, McCoist acknowledged that he would be more thrilled if Gerrard’s old England teammate took charge.

Before he left for Coventry, Rangers ought to have pursued Frank Lampard, he told talkSPORT Bet.

“I’ve said this for a while and I think he could’ve been like Steven Gerrard in the way that they come to the club with the

hunger to succeed, as I always felt that he was overly criticised for some of the results at his previous jobs, he looks to have found his feet.”

In addition, he stated: “I wouldn’t be disappointed if Steven Gerrard returned as a candidate.

He has a point to make and is familiar with the club.

“Rafa Benitez and Derek McInnes are mentioned; Derek is familiar with the team and I would be content with him, but it’s possible that the ship has sailed for him.

With the new owners taking over, I can assure you that the Rangers position will be highly competitive,

and hopefully they will be able to hire the best candidate to lead them.
