The Midlands club rebuilt under Mark Robins and climbed back into the Championship in 2020 and reached the play-offs twice in 2023 and 2025.

However, Coventry eventually ended their long absence from the Premier League this season.

Under Frank Lampard's stewardship, the Sky Blues cinched the Championship title with two games to spare following a 5-1 win over Portsmouth on Tuesday.

But the celebrations really got started as the Sky Blues comfortably beat Wrexham 3-1 at the Coventry Building Society Arena and lifted the Championship title in front of an emotional crowd.

Well-earned celebrations before the work begins ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
