According to Doug King, Lee Carsley might “fit the brief” for Coventry City. When Thomas Tuchel becomes the Three Lions’ permanent manager, Carsley, who is now in interim control of England, will soon return to his position as head coach of the England Under-21 team.
The impact of Doug King’s decision to fire Mark Robins is still being felt, not just at Coventry but also throughout the Championship and even beyond of the football community.
The departure of the EFL’s longest-serving manager, who had the Sky Blues at Wembley just six months prior, is partially to blame for that. It can also be explained by the fact that King, the club owner, has not avoided questioning about the situation despite keeping his counsel in the immediate aftermath.
Twelve hours after a discussion with fans on Monday night, King appeared on national radio to share his thoughts on the decision.
The fact that Frank Lampard’s name has been so strongly linked to the position has also contributed to the noise.
King acknowledged that the Chelsea legend and former manager of Chelsea, Everton and Derby was in the running to succeed Robins, and he was soon established as the bookmakers’ favourite.
