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 3, winning 0, drawing 0 and losing 3, with 0 scored and 5 conceded. At home they are 0-0-1; away from home 0-0-2.
Recent form reads L-L-L (oldest first), meaning they have come through 0% of their last 3 matches without losing.
