Coventry City have sacked manager Mark Robins two days before their trip to league leaders Sunderland.
The Sky Blues were beaten 2-1 by Derby County on Wednesday night and find themselves 17th in the Championship table.
Robins was appointed Coventry manager for a second time in 2017 and was the longest-serving manager in the Championship.
He guided them from League Two into the second tier and reached the play-off final in 2023 and FA Cup semi-finals last term.
Coventry had won their previous two league matches prior to their loss to the Rams and seemed to be finding form after a sluggish start to the campaign.
