Claim: A Facebook post claims Coventry City Football Club has sacked its head coach, Lampard.
Verdict: False. No evidence shows the newly promoted Premier League side has sacked Lampard. Furthermore, Coventry City currently mentions the 48-year-old as the head coach on its website.
Full Text
A Facebook post claims that Coventry City has sacked its head coach, Frank Lampard, after a difficult start to its first Premier League season in 25 years.
Coventry City returned to the Premier League for the 2026/2027 football season after securing promotion from the Championship following a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers last season. However, the Midlands side have lost four of their opening matches and managed a win against Nottingham Forest.
The Facebook post praises Lampard for taking Coventry City from the Championship to the Premier League and argues that the club should have given him more time to adapt to the demands of the top flight.
The post concludes that relegation will be the club’s fate after allegedly sacking its coach.
As of Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, the post has attracted 212 reactions, 40 comments and six shares
Because the claim could misinform the public, DUBAWA decided to verify it.
Verification
DUBAWA checked whether any reputable media outlet reported that Coventry City has dismissed the 48-year-old head coach, but found no credible report about the alleged development.
We also checked Coventry City’s official website for news about Lampard’s alleged dismissal, but found no related report.
Meanwhile, the club still lists Lampard as its head coach on its website, though the company info page was last updated in April 2026.
Conclusion
The claim that Coventry City has sacked Lampard is false. No credible evidence indicates the club has sacked Lampard.
