The opportunity to succeed Mark Robins at Coventry City has piqued Gary Rowett’s interest. Since resigning from his position as Birmingham City’s temporary manager in May, 50-year-old Championship manager Rowett has been unemployed.
Despite earning 11 points from his eight games as manager, including a 3-0 victory over the Sky Blues in April, Rowett was unable to keep the Blues from being relegated to League One.
For the most part of his managerial career, Rowett has managed teams in the top half of the Championship, including Millwall, Derby County, where he finished in sixth place, and Birmingham, where he was initially in charge from 2014 to 2016.

Rowett told Give Me Sport, when asked about the position at the Ricoh Arena: “I have an agent who works for me and contacts clubs who have a vacancy.” I’m out of clubs in the Midlands! However, Coventry is a huge club, in my opinion. Coventry would be a very alluring club for any manager in the Championship.
Another one is Burton Albion. I have already assisted them there. “Interviews are definitely different now,” he continued. Many sporting directors are now in charge, and teams are looking for a manager that can work with their long-term plan.
