Championship manager is brutally SACKED after seven years in his job – leaving the club’s fans furious

Coventry City have sacked Mark Robins after seven years in charge and two promotions.

Robins leaves the club 17th in the Championship after a 2-1 defeat at home to Derby County on Wednesday evening.

In 2022-23 he led them to the Championship play-off final, where they lost on penalties to Luton, and last season they were painfully knocked out of the FA Cup semi-finals by Manchester United on penalties.

Robins returned to the Sky Blues in March 2017 for a second spell in charge of the club at the bottom of League One and was unable to avoid relegation that season.

However, he led them to immediate promotion and in 2019–20 he steered them to the League One title. He was the Football League’s longest-serving manager.
