Latest Coventry City news from CoventryLive as game against Stoke City at CBS Arena will now be shown live on Sky TV
Mark Robins’ return to Coventry City with his new team Stoke City will be televised live on Sky TV.
Robins, who was fired by the Sky Blues in November after seven years in command, will face the Potters at the CBS Arena on March 8, with the game starting at 12.30pm rather than 3pm to allow for TV coverage.
Stoke won the reverse encounter 1-0 on the first day of the season, with Robins in command of the Sky Blues and Steven Schumacher in the home dugout at the bet365 Stadium.
Robins has since become the Potters’ third manager of the season, after Schumacher was replaced by Narcis Pelach, who was fired after only 19 games. Former Chelsea, Derby, and Everton manager Frank Lampard is presently in charge of the CBS Arena.
The Sky Blues are mid-table and have a slim chance of making the end-of-season play-offs after a turnaround under Lampard, despite being defeated 2-0 by leaders Leeds United on Wednesday.
Stoke won their first game under Robins against Hull City on Saturday, but they are still in danger of dropping to 18th place, just five points ahead of third-bottom Derby County.
