Coventry City have sacked the EFL's longest-serving manager, Mark Robins, after almost eight years in charge.
Robins returned for a second stint in charge at the Coventry Building Society Stadium back in 2017 and led the club from League Two to the Championship.
Coventry were also 90 minutes away from a remarkable return to the Premier League but lost the play-off final to Luton Town at the end of the 2022-23 season.
They placed ninth last season but did return to Wembley where they were beaten by Manchester United in a dramatic FA Cup semi-final.
Across his second tenure, Robins oversaw 387 matches, winning 157 (D98 L132), averaging a win percentage of 39.97%, a total only bettered during spells with Rotherham United (43.41%) and his first stint with the Sky Blues (51.52%).
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. #PUSB
It has been a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign, though, and Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Derby County left them 17th but level on points with Plymouth Argyle in the relegation places.
Rhys Carr, who joined as a first-team coach back in July, has been named as interim head coach.
