Paul Lambert (born August 7, 1969 in Glasgow ) is a former Scottish football player and current football coach .

Athletic career

Club career

Paul Lambert began his football career in Scotland in 1984 with the Linwood Rangers and moved to FC St. Mirren in 1985 . After eight years with this club, he moved to Motherwell FC in 1993 . Here he was noticed during a UEFA Cup game against Borussia Dortmund by Dortmund coach Ottmar Hitzfeld , who guided him to Dortmund in 1996 . The strong midfielder became a crowd favorite with Borussia and won the Champions League with Dortmund in 1996/97 .

He moved back to the island during the 1997/98 Bundesliga season. Lambert joined Celtic Glasgow in early November 1997 , where he played until 2005 and during that time won the Scottish Championship four times and the Scottish FA Cup three times . In 2002 he was named Scotland's Footballer of the Year . He then let his career, in which he played 70 European Cup games, come to an end at Livingston FC .

Selection bets

As a national player, he represented his home country Scotland on the international stage from 1995 to 2003 and had a total of 40 internationals and one goal. Lambert was part of the Bravehearts' squad at the 1998 World Cup . His last international match was on September 10, 2003, the 1: 2 defeat in qualifying for the 2004 European Football Championship against Germany .

Coaching career

In the 2005/06 season he took up his first professional coaching position at the Scottish first division club Livingston FC. Engagements with Wycombe Wanderers and Colchester United followed .

On August 18, 2009, he became the coach of Norwich City . In its debut season, he led the club as the winner of Football League One to promotion to the second-rate Football League Championship . In November 2009 he was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame . In the next season (2010/11) he achieved his - according to his own statements - greatest success with the direct march through as runner-up in the Football League Championship in the Premier League. On May 31, 2012, Lambert offered his resignation as a coach at Norwich City, but the club refused him this. Two days later he was introduced as Aston Villa's new coach .

During his time as coach of Aston Villa, Lambert increasingly relied on young players after expensive transfers such as Darren Bent's under predecessor Alex McLeish had not had the desired effect. With young players like Andreas Weimann and Christian Benteke (19 goals), they were able to stay up in the 2012/13 season. In the following season , Villa under Lambert continued to sag after a good start in the table ranks. After 34 points in March Villa got stronger and stronger in the relegation battle; after a 3-1 win against Hull City in May, however, they were able to stay in the Premier League. The Premier League 2014/15 got off to a good start with several 1-0 victories. Lambert then signed a new four-year contract on September 17, 2014. However, Villa's form curve then fell sharply and culminated in one of the longest phases (in December 2014 and January 2015 a total of 659 minutes of play) without scoring in the Premier League so far. In the table Villa slide more and more towards the relegation ranks. After a 5-0 defeat by Arsenal and a poor performance against Hull City, Aston Villa found themselves in a relegation rank. Villa had only scored 12 goals in 25 games at the time. In response, Lambert was fired on February 11, 2015 after ten consecutive games without a win. In November 2015 Lambert took over the English second division club Blackburn Rovers. He was able to keep the financially troubled club in the 2nd division, but the contract was dissolved at the end of the 2015/16 season. In November 2016, Lambert became the coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers . The collaboration was ended at the end of the 2016/17 season.

In January 2018 he took over the first division club Stoke City . With only two wins from 15 games, he did not manage to save the club from relegation from the Premier League and Lambert left the club at the end of the season. At the end of October 2018, he took over the English second division club Ipswich Town, which was bottom of the table .
