Coventry City Football Club have sacked Mark Robins this morning.
The club say they have "made the difficult decision to terminate the contract of Mark Robins as manager with immediate effect."
Robins joined the Sky Blues in 2017 and has taken the club from League Two to back in the Championship and even nearly as close to FA Cup glory.
The club have released a statement saying: "There is no doubt that Coventry City today would not be where it is today without the inspired actions of Mark and his team.
"The Club is well aware that this is a difficult moment after over seven very successful years at the helm and this decision is not taken lightly.
"The performance of the team over an extended period however have just not been good enough and as such the board of the Club has decided to make an immediate change in leadership."
Coventry City have been struggling to find form and last night's loss against Derby County appears to have been the last straw.
The news has frustrated fans online - and even musician Tom Grennan has taken to social media to call out the move.
The club have appointed Rhys Carr as Interim Head Coach.
The Club will also be organising a “Fans Forum” next week where the Chairman of the club will answer any and all questions on this subject and other affairs/concerns.
Details of this are yet to be released.
