Manager set to leave Championship football club

Ewood Park

PAUL Lambert is to leave his job as manager of Championship football club Blackburn Rovers at the end of the season.

Lambert, aged 46, arrived at the Ewood Park club in November, but has activated a clause in his contract which allows him to leave after the final game against Reading on May 7.

The former Aston Villa boss said at the start of April he would “wait and see” about his future following talks with the club’s owners Venky’s.

Rovers have won 10 of his 31 games in charge and sit 18th in the table.
