Frank Lampard leads Coventry to promotion

Lampard was emotional as he hailed the 'special night' for the club and its supporters, who have endured decades of financial and competitive struggles.

Bobby Thomas scored the decisive late equalizer that guaranteed the point needed for promotion.

The achievement marks a significant restoration of Lampard's managerial reputation after previous stints at larger clubs.

Coventry now prepares for a high-stakes return to the elite tier of English football, with plans for squad investment already underway.
