Saying goodbye to a legend as Coventry City season and era comes to an end
Coventry City news from CoventryLive as Sky Blues reporter Andy Turner brings you a flavour of Mark Robins’ final pre-match press conference of the 2023/24 campaign
Coventry City round off what has been another eventful and certainly memorable season this weekend when they entertain mid-table Queens Park Rangers looking to send supporters home from the CBS Arena full of cheer and hope for an exciting summer, during which manager Mark Robins will be looking to further strengthen his squad.
The Sky Blues have grown and evolved over the last seven years since the 54-year-old’s return to the club, with the City boss remoulding four different teams to date; the first gaining promotion out of League Two; the second driving out of League One to get a foothold in the Championship; the third making the play-off final last season and the fourth securing anther Wembley visit in the FA Cup last month.
The one constant throughout that incredible journey and sole survivor of the playing squad is skipper Liam Kelly, whom fans will be able to pay tribute to during the customary lap of appreciation after the final whistle on Saturday afternoon. Although it’s not yet official, it seems pretty certain that the 34-year-old midfielder will be moving on this summer, bringing an end to an outstanding seven years of service to the Sky Blues.

And, fittingly, he’ll be saying his fond farewell on the club’s annual Legends Day, with Robins confirming his status in the club’s history when speaking about the consummate professional in his pre-match press conference.
