Frank Lampard wants muted celebrations from Coventry City players
Should the Sky Blue Stars seal promotion, the former Chelsea boss reveals he doesn’t want them to get overconfident with five league games left to play.
“Am I ready for the season to end in five games? Yes. Do I want to go on a holiday? Yes, for sure, absolutely do. I want to get some sun,” the former England midfielder said in quotes revealed by the Coventry Telegraph.
“We had one day of it this week and it was amazing I want to go away and have a bit of a break because I, and we, put a lot into this, and that’s the only way to do this job. And that’s every manager, by the way. I’m not special here, you have to give everything.
“The only aim now is to try and get this job done, and we know what that is and we’ve got five games to do it. We don’t want to do it in five games, but you know what I mean.
“There’s no plan for that [A champagne], no. My plan is to go home and have a beer, or two.”
“No, no. We find ourselves in this slightly sort of, not strange but good situation, right, where we may be waiting on things but I’m not.
“I think if we get the result we want to get, I’ll know where we’re at. So hence I’ll have my beer anyway,” the 47-year-old concluded.
Frank Onyeka’s loan deal to Coventry City will become permanent in the summer, should they gain promotion to the English top-flight.
