FOOTBALL - Mark Robins' Coventry City return with Stoke City selected for TV coverage

MARK Robins’ return to former club Coventry City will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Coventry sacked Robins in November after he guided the Sky Blues from League Two to the brink of the Premier League during a near eight-year stint with City.

He has since taken charge of Coventry’s Championship rivals Stoke City.

Robins will bring his Stoke side to the Coventry Building Society Arena next month on Saturday, March 8.

And the game will now take place live on Sky Sports at an earlier kick-off time of 12.30pm.

Robins has won just one of his five league games since taking charge of the Potters on New Year’s Day.




Coventry replaced Robins with former Chelsea and England legend Frank Lampard.

Since Lampard’s appointment, the Sky Blues have lost just four of 14 matches in the Championship.


Coventry sit just three points outside of the play-off places with Stoke five points above the relegation zone.
