Lampard’s Influence Sparks Coventry’s Resurgence, Says Wright

Haji Wright, a forward for the United States men’s national team, has credited his coach, Frank Lampard, with significantly impacting his performance this season. As Coventry City competes in the Championship for the 2025-26 season, Wright has flourished under Lampard’s guidance.
Lampard’s Influence on Wright’s Performance
Wright, 27, described Lampard as a major inspiration since his arrival at Coventry. “He’s shown me a lot of belief,” said Wright. His praise extends to Lampard’s ability to assist him during training and in matches, contributing to his impressive form.
Impressive Statistics
- Wright has scored nine goals and provided one assist in his last ten games.
- He is currently the leading goalscorer in the Championship.
- Coventry City has secured five wins and four draws from a total of nine matches.
- The team remains undefeated in the Championship this season.
Wright’s successful comeback follows a challenging recovery from an Achilles injury that limited his participation in the 2025 Gold Cup. He expressed disappointment at not being able to contribute during the tournament but remained focused on regaining his position in the national team.
Upcoming Matches and Goals
As Wright prepares for upcoming friendlies against Ecuador on October 10 and Australia on October 14, he aims to maintain his current form. Following a standout performance last week, where Coventry defeated Sheffield Wednesday 5-0, Wright is eager to continue showcasing his skills on the international stage.
With Lampard’s support, Wright’s resurgence has become a vital factor in Coventry City’s success, further solidifying the coach’s influence in the Championship.
