Coventry City Secures Championship Playoff Spot Under Lampard

Coventry City has secured a place in the Championship playoffs after a dramatic turnaround under manager Frank Lampard, who took the team from 17th to fifth in the table. Lampard credited his staff, players, and the club's fans for their roles in the achievement, emphasizing that this marks just the beginning of Coventry's ambitions. The team will face Sunderland in the playoff semi-finals following a decisive win over Middlesbrough. Lampard also praised former manager Mark Robins for laying a strong foundation by guiding Coventry from League Two to last year's playoff final. The final day of the Championship saw Coventry and Bristol City clinch the last two playoff spots, while Blackburn Rovers, Millwall, and Middlesbrough fell short. The playoffs are set to begin with first legs scheduled for May 8-9 and second legs on May 12-13.
