Former National Team Coach Dennis Lawrence is taking charge of the Coventry first team this afternoon against Sheffield United after an outbreak of COVID-19 in the camp.
Both Manager Mark Robins and Sky Blues Assistant Adi Viveash tested Positive this morning, forcing them to miss the game at the CBS Arena – the first game Robins has missed in his five-year tenure at the club. Robins became the third longest-serving manager in the club’s history on Tuesday night when he oversaw his 288th game, overtaking Billy Frith, but still behind Gordon Milne 436 and Harry Storer 584.
Former Trinidad and Tobago Manager Lawrence steps up to take care of today’s team, assisted by Under-23’s Development Coach Luke Tisdale.
