Coventry City has made the unexpected decision to part ways with Mark Robins, who was the longest-serving manager in the Championship. The club's board expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance over an extended period, despite acknowledging Robins as one of the greatest managers in the club's history. Robins, who took charge in 2017, led Coventry to two promotions from League Two to the Championship. He came close to returning the club to the Premier League, narrowly losing the 2022-23 Championship playoff final to Luton Town in a penalty shootout. Additionally, he faced another heartbreaking defeat at Wembley last season, this time in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United, which also ended in penalties. In the wake of Robins' departure, Coventry City is reportedly inquiring about Matt Bloomfield, the current manager of Wycombe Wanderers, as they seek a new direction for the team. The Sky Blues currently sit 17th in the Championship following a disappointing start to the season.
