Coventry City Football Club
FA Cup winners in 1987 and survivors of multiple stadium crises and near-extinction events, Coventry City have risen from League Two to the brink of the Premier League under Frank Lampard, leading the Championship in 2025-26 and carrying a city's dreams of top-flight football for the first time since 2001.
Current Leadership
Owners
SISU, the London-based hedge fund led by Joy Seppala, took over Coventry City in 2007. Their ownership has been deeply controversial, marked by protracted disputes with the Ricoh Arena's operators that led to the club playing home matches in Birmingham, persistent fan protests, and accusations of underinvestment. Despite the criticism, SISU have presided over the club's recovery from League Two back to Championship contention.
