Owner and Executive Chairman Doug King has written an end of season message at the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign – read it below:
As we reflect on the 2023/24 season, we can look back on another thrilling campaign for this Football Club and its supporters and partners.
Once more we have been competing for the Play-Off places in a very strong EFL Championship, only missing out on a top six position in the last two/three weeks. During the season there have been amazing victories and memories that will stay with us a long time, both at home and on the road, and we have witnessed exciting, attacking football (plenty of goals scored, a few too many conceded) that has entertained Sky Blues supporters and neutrals.
The FA Cup run was truly historic. Reaching our first Semi-Final for thirty-seven years and putting on such a heroic performance against Manchester United has showcased our Club again to both a national and international audience. I know that we all take immense pride in our team who refused to let the occasion pass them by and instigated a turbo-charged come-back for the ages that will never be forgotten…
Wembley Stadium packed once again with Sky Blues supporters was an awe-inspiring sight, rightly widely lauded, and an occasion that only football can bring and that just cannot be matched by any other sporting experience. Another incredible day in this Club’s history.
Last Summer was a significant transfer window for the Club, with a considerable number of players being brought in. We broke the Club transfer record fee, which had gone back over twenty years, and there was a significant increase in the overall quality and depth of the squad.
Under the leadership of Mark Robins and the coaching skills of Adi Viveash, alongside the support of the football staff at Ryton, the team has developed throughout the season, and we end the campaign with a strong nucleus of talented players all ready to come back and go again in July.
With the appointment of Dr Claire-Marie Roberts in February as Performance Director, we are making sure that our preparation and medical/fitness provision at Coventry City is at an elite level. The Championship is a relentless and draining league and to be successful, we need to ensure that our players are given the best of bespoke care in all aspects both physically and mentally.
