What happened: Frank Lampard has committed to Coventry City through 2029, signing a new deal after steering the club to the Championship title and promotion. The head coach pointed to the spirit and togetherness of the title-winning campaign as the reason to stay and keep building.

Why it matters: Locking down Lampard gives Coventry City continuity heading into a Premier League campaign, a significant step up after winning the second tier. Owner Doug King, who brought Lampard to the club, keeps his manager in place for the top-flight challenge ahead.

What to watch: Focus now shifts to Coventry's summer recruitment and how Lampard reshapes the squad for the jump to the Premier League.
