He said, "I've been to a couple of them (dinner with coaches). It's a really good opportunity to exchange ideas and talk together. 

"At one point I visited Thomas Frank in Brentford. He was so open and interesting."

Lampard also said: " A month before the job in Coventry showed up, I went up to Manchester City to hold a meeting with Rodri. 

"In this connection, I had the opportunity to talk to Pep Guardiola for 45 minutes. It was fantastic.

"Before I started being a coach, I had a few days at City. I was really on the moon over Guardiola's commitment to everyday life with the players on the coach track. 

"That's exactly what I want to be myself."
