Struggling Coventry have confirmed Mark Robins as their new manager as they look to turn around their early-season woes.
Robins, 42, enjoyed a fine two-year spell in charge of Rotherham between 2007 and 2009 before taking the reins at Barnsley, a position in which he also performed strongly until May last year when differences with the Oakwell board led to his resignation.
