ROBBED OF HIS JOB Longest-serving EFL manager Mark Robins SACKED by Coventry with club battling relegation
COVENTRY have SACKED Mark Robins after seven years at the club.
The EFL’s longest serving manager was brutally axed with the Sky Blues sitting adrift of the Championship drop in 17th.
The former Manchester United star, 54, saw himself at the centre of a relegation battle this season.
Coventry are enduring a miserable run of four wins in 14 games after finishing nine points behind the play-off places last term.
They are level on points with Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle who sit inside the relegation zone in 22nd.
Coventry are only saved by their better goal difference, which is -1 compared to Plymouth’s -11.The club posted on X: “Coventry City has made the difficult decision to terminate the contract of Mark Robins as manager.
“We thank Mark for all his achievements with us and wish him the best for the future.”
The final straw came after the club were beaten at home by Derby County on Wednesday night.
Robins was in his second spell as Sky Blues boss, having returned to the club in March 2017 after the sacking of Russell Slade.
