Frank Lampard is set to manage Coventry City in the Premier League for the first time as the Sky Blues take on Arsenal. The 48-year-old led Coventry to the Championship title last season by an 11-point margin to clinch promotion to the top flight.
Coventry's first top-flight fixture since 2001 is against Arsenal tonight (Friday night). Lampard has bolstered his squad throughout the summer, recruiting Taiwo Awoniyi, Caleb Yirenkyi, Gustavo Hamer and several others to boost their odds of staying up.
Huge Net Worth
CelebrityNetWorth reports that Lampard's personal fortune stands at approximately £44million ($60m). It has been suggested that the Premier League icon, who claimed three league titles as a Chelsea player, earns roughly £5m annually at Coventry.
Meanwhile, Lampard's wife Christine has also amassed considerable wealth through her presenting career. The television host reportedly agreed a £4m deal with ITV back in 2010. A decade on, her company, Chrisola Entertainment, filed accounts revealing total cash and assets of £2.516 million.
The television presenter's wealth gives the married couple a combined net worth of approximately £50m, eclipsing that of every other current Premier League manager.
Premier League Managers' Net Worths
Having recently guided Arsenal to the league title, Mikel Arteta's net worth remains considerably lower than Lampard's. CelebrityNetWorth places Arteta's fortune at around £18.5m ($25m).
Everton manager David Moyes is reportedly worth an equivalent sum, built through his enduring career as a top-flight coach, which included penning a six-year deal at Manchester United in 2013. His fortune is said to exceed that of the current manager at Old Trafford. CelebrityNetWorth puts United boss Michael Carrick's wealth at roughly £12m ($16m).
Meanwhile, it was disclosed last year that incoming Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca's net worth was estimated to fall somewhere between £1.6m and £4m. The sole coach to rival Lampard's fortune, according to CelebrityNetWorth, is Chelsea's Xabi Alonso (£44m), who equally enjoyed a distinguished playing career. Nevertheless, Christine's television work ensures the couple still boast a greater combined net worth than any other Premier League managers.
