Next Coventry City Manager Betting Odds

Coventry City were relegated from the Championship following a poor season under manager Andy Thorn. The club spent the majority of the campaign fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table but their relegation was confirmed in the penultimate match after a disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Doncaster.

The Sky Blues were once proud stalwarts of the Premier League; each year managing to survive by the skin of their teeth, however they could only avoid the drop into the Championship for so long and were relegated in 2001 after a defeat to bitter rivals Aston Villa on the last away trip of the season.

Since relegation the side have failed to challenge for the play-offs and have flirted with relegation from the Championship on several occasions. They have now become known for their fast turnover of managers having gone through 8 full time managers since the departure of Gordon Strachan in 2001.

Andy Thorn (previously the sides chief scout) is currently the latest manager in charge of Coventry City but he is under fire following a dismal 2011/12 campaign which ended in relegation to League One.

This coupled with the club not owning their own ground and unable to gain revenue from the Ricoh Arena has seen the owners hedge fund firm SISU selling any players they can to get some return on their investment (Scott Dann, Lukas Jukiewicz, Jay Tabb) and not renewing contracts quick enough to save players from going for free transfers (Keiren Westwood, Marlon King amongst others).
