against Germany in September 2003. The match was played in Dortmund, where he had achieved great success during his club career. On 15 November 2009, he was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. Managerial career Livingston After studying for football coaching qualifications in 2005, Lambert landed his first managerial job with Livingston on 1 June 2005, assisted by Norrie McWhirter. Although he had not intended to play for his new club, Lambert registered as a player in late August 2005 to cover for any injury shortages. His tenure ended in February 2006 when he resigned after only winning two league games since starting the job. Wycombe Wanderers Lambert was appointed manager of English team Wycombe Wanderers on 30 June 2006. He led Wycombe to the League Cup semi-finals after defeating Premier League sides Fulham and Charlton Athletic. The semi-final tie, against Premier League champions Chelsea, saw Wycombe hold Chelsea to a 1–1 draw at Adams Park before losing the away leg. This was the first time in over 30 years a fourth tier team had reached that stage of the League Cup. Lambert resigned as Wycombe manager on 20 May 2008 following the club's elimination from the League Two play-offs by Stockport County. Colchester United On 9 October 2008, he was appointed as manager of League One team Colchester United to succeed Geraint Williams, before winning his first game 2–1 at Stockport County. Despite occasionally threatening to flirt with the League One play-offs, the U's eventually finished mid-table in Lambert's first season. On 8 August 2009, he began the 2009–10 season with an opening day 7–1 win over Norwich City. Lambert left the Essex club for Norwich shortly afterwards. Norwich City Lambert became the new manager of Norwich City on 18 August 2009, replacing Bryan Gunn, who was dismissed by the club shortly after the 7–1 home defeat to Lambert's Colchester. Lambert's new side would go on to win the return fixture 5-0 on their way to the League 1 title, earning promotion to the Championship, in April 2010. On 1 June 2010, he signed an improved contract with Norwich after it was confirmed Colchester United were entitled to £425,000 in compensation, in addition to Norwich City being fined £75,000, with a further £125,000 suspended for two years. Norwich's form from their 2009–10 promotion campaign continued into the 2010–11 season, which saw them gain a second successive promotion
