This seismic decision comes just hours after the club ended its 24-year wait for top-flight football by securing promotion to the Premier League following tonight&#8217;s dramatic draw at Blackburn.<\/p>\n<p>Eyewitnesses at Ewood Park describe a scene of total confusion where the high-octane celebrations of the Sky Blue army were cut short by whispers of a fallout in the dressing room. Despite the monumental achievement of guiding the club from the bottom half of the table to the promised land in record time, Lampard is said to have informed owner Doug King that his journey with the club ends here.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors are already swirling that the former Chelsea legend has grown frustrated with the club&#8217;s projected summer transfer budget, or that a vacant position at a high-profile Premier League rival has lured him away at the eleventh hour. Regardless of the motive, the Sky Blues now face the terrifying reality of entering the world\u2019s toughest league without the tactical mastermind who built their success. Fans who were chanting his name in the stands only moments ago are now left questioning how a night of such historic triumph could transform into a total crisis before the team bus even left the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREAKING: LAMPARD QUITS COVENTRY ON NIGHT OF PROMOTION GLORY In<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":3684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[150],"class_list":["post-3683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-convertory-city-fc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
