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
Having previously managed MK Dons and Lommel SK in Belgium, Manning joined Oxford in March.<\/p>\n He won eleven of his eighteen games in charge, guiding Oxford to second in League One.<\/p>\n In August, Manning was named the league's Manager of the Month.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old will now look to guide Bristol to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As for Lampard, his search for a new club continues.<\/p>\n His managerial career kicked off in 2018, leading Derby County to the playoffs in his first season before taking the helm at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n Despite a strong start, working academy starlets such as Reece James, Mason Mount, and Fikayo Tomori into the first team, Lampard's tenure came to an end in January 2021 after a poor run left the club sitting ninth in the Prem.<\/p>\n The following January he took control of Everton but won just twelve of his 44 games in charge before being dismissed just under a year later.<\/p>\n Lampard returned to the Stamford Bridge dugout as interim boss the following April, replacing Graham Potter who had endured a torrid time since moving from Brighton.<\/p>\n One win in eleven matches followed, with the former England star having remained unemployed since.<\/p>\n<\/picture>FATHER FIGURE <\/span><\/p>\n
