FRANK LAMPARD'S wait for a new job continues after missing out on a return to the Championship.<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea ace, 45, was backed as one of the favourites for the Bristol City job after the Robins sacked Nigel Pearson.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Pearson was dismissed on October 29 after leading Bristol to just five wins in fourteen games this season.<\/p>\n
The then-fifteenth-placed Robins were placed under the temporary stewardship of assistant manager Curtis Fleming, who oversaw a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.<\/p>\n
But while ex-Chelsea boss Lampard was backed by the bookies to return to the dugout as Pearson's long-term replacement, Bristol have instead opted to bring in Liam Manning from Oxford United.<\/p>\n
The news of Manning's appointment was revealed in a tweet on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
