🏆 Honours & Legacy
Just 1 major trophy — the 1987 FA Cup — but a founding member of the Premier League in 1992. That scarcity is part of the story.
🔄 Recent History
One of the wildest rises in English football. Coventry were playing in League Two less than a decade ago. Lampard took over in November 2024 with the club two points above relegation, turned it around to a 5th-place playoff finish that season, then won the Championship outright in 2025-26 (95 points) to return to the top flight after a 25-year absence — the longest gap of any club in Premier League history.
🐐 Greatest Ever Player
Steve Ogrizovic — legendary goalkeeper, over 600 appearances, hero of the '87 Cup win. Modern-era shoutout: American striker Haji Wright, who fired them up through the Championship.
