Coventry City Seeks New Manager After Robins Departure

Coventry City is searching for a new manager following the unexpected departure of Mark Robins, who led the club from League Two to the Championship over seven years. Frank Lampard and Ruud van Nistelrooy are among the top contenders for the role, with owner Doug King emphasizing the need for stability and a long-term vision for the club. King has narrowed down the initial 70 applicants and plans to meet with both British and international candidates, while considering a shift towards hiring a head coach rather than a traditional manager. The club's recent performance has left them hovering just above the relegation zone, increasing the urgency for a new appointment. Fans expressed their discontent over Robins' exit during a recent match, showcasing the high expectations for his successor. Lampard, previously linked with high-profile clubs, is seen as a strong candidate, potentially bringing Jody Morris along as an assistant if he secures the position.
