According to reporter Sacha Tavolieri on X, Burnley has identified Coventry City manager Mark Robins as a possible Vincent Kompany replacement.
Despite Coventry City’s failure to qualify for the playoffs this year, manager Robins’ efforts have once again garnered much recognition.
Following a hectic summer transfer window and a dismal start to the season, the long-serving manager guided the Sky Blues back into the top six while continuing their incredible FA Cup run.
Said run through the most prestigious competition in England only came to an end in the semi-finals against Manchester United, who prevailed despite a remarkable comeback and a last-minute VAR call.
Due to Robins’ outstanding play, he was recently connected to Hull City’s open position. However, it appears that the Tigers have selected German Tim Walter to replace Liam Rosenior.
However, it is now alleged that the Coventry City manager is the subject of additional interest.
According to Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri, who writes for X, Burnley, a Premier League team that was demoted, has Robins on their radar in case Vincent Kompany leaves Turf Moor. Brighton is considering the legendary player from Manchester City and Belgium as a potential successor to the highly sought-after Roberto De Zerbi.
Is interest certain?
It is always acknowledged when a manager does well, and Robins has had great success during his tenure at Coventry City. He’s been able to elevate them, particularly in the past few years, as they fight to return to the Premier League.
It follows that it is not surprising that teams like Burnley are paying attention to his efforts.
Despite the fact that the Clarets are headed for the Championship, they are a team with big dreams for the future, and their manager needs to be at the forefront of that. If Kompany moves forward, Robins will meet that description.
clinging to Robins
Coventry City has already shown interest in famous players, so it will be interesting to watch how things work out with Robins now that he is the one receiving compliments.
Since the 54-year-old has a contract with the team through 2027, you would imagine that any team interested in hiring him would have to offer a sizable sum of money in order to get a deal done.
Even yet, clubs might have a difficult job on their hands if they manage to lure him away from the team. It seems unlikely that Robins would accept an offer from a Championship opponent to leave the Sky Blues after spending so much time at Coventry City because he is so committed to the team’s goal of winning the Premier League again.
Though Burnley is holding out hope, only time will tell if the links bear fruit.
