They were reunited on the BBC‘s coverage of the Euros where presenter Mark Chapman pointed out some interesting behaviour from Coady.
Chapman noted Coady was still calling Lampard “gaffer” on occasion, sparking an awkward moment.
The defender responded saying: “I’m all over the place I don’t know what to call him.”
That caused laughter from Chapman and Lampard as well as fellow pundit Joe Hart.
Lampard quickly eased his worries as he chuckled saying: “Frank is fine.”
Hart then joked by suggesting Coady call him “Super Frank”, which the former Chelsea and England midfielder was more than happy with.
It is not the first awkward moment Lampard has experienced at the Euros having been on the receiving end of a joke made by Gary Lineker.
Lineker out there was a fan screen in the background of the BBC’s outdoor studio, which blocked fans from being able to look in.

Jack Wilshere: Southgate must be brave with Rice
By Jack Wilshere
GARETH SOUTHGATE should be brave and play Declan Rice as our sole holding midfielder.
But if England manager Southgate doesn’t want to do that — and he probably doesn’t — then he needs to give Rice the chance to play more like he does for Arsenal.
Let’s be absolutely clear here. Rice was so important for us again during that first half against Denmark.
The fact that he had a difficult second 45 minutes showed how much England were struggling.
Rice himself would hold his hands up and say he gave away the ball too often.
But what I took overall from his performance is that he needs more help in the engine room.
Read here how Jack Wilshere would resolve the Declan Rice dilemma.
Lampard joked if the screen was removed, they’d only be able to see the back of his head anyway.
That provoked the quip from Lineker, with the host saying: “No you’re right, nobody wants to see the back of your head these days! That’s for sure.”
