Sky Blues sack Robins before trip to Sunderland
Mark Robins on the touchline for Coventry CityCoventry City have sacked manager Mark Robins two days before their trip to league leaders Sunderland.
The Sky Blues were beaten 2-1 by Derby County on Wednesday night and find themselves 17th in the Championship table.
Robins was appointed Coventry manager for a second time in 2017 and was the longest-serving manager in the Championship.
He guided them from League Two into the second tier and reached the play-off final in 2023 and FA Cup semi-finals last term.
Coventry had won their previous two league matches prior to their loss to the Rams and seemed to be finding form after a sluggish start to the campaign.
