Manager
Frank Lampard
In charge since November 2024
Lampard favours a possession-heavy 4-3-3 with midfielders running late into the box, played with high energy and plenty of attacking width.
Promoted. Lampard took the Sky Blues up in May 2026, ending a 25-year absence from the top flight.

Are Coventry City FC a safe survivor pick?
Coventry City FC have no Premier League seasons in the last three years — they come up from the Championship, where they avoided defeat in 71% of league games. Second-tier form flatters a club: newly promoted sides typically lose closer to half their top-flight matches, so treat Coventry City FC as a high-risk survivor pick until they have a body of Premier League results.
This season they have played 5, winning 1, drawing 0 and losing 4, with 1 scored and 10 conceded. At home they are 0-0-2; away from home 1-0-2.
Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 33% away versus 0% at home — so don't discount them on the road.
Recent form reads L-L-L-L-W (oldest first), meaning they have come through 20% of their last 5 matches without losing.
