Frank Lampard was appointed Coventry manager in November 2024

After 25 years, Coventry are back in the Premier League.

It has been 9,113 days since they were relegated - by a 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa on 5 May 2001 - with the Sky Blues then tumbling to the brink.

After spending 11 years in the Championship, they were relegated to League One and fell into administration in 2013.

A return to the top was a distant dream amid the dramas of two groundshares with Northampton and Birmingham, a detested ownership in Sisu, multiple protests and parliamentary mentions.
