Coventry City manager Mark Robins is on Burnley’s shortlist to potentially replace Vincent Kompany, according to reporter Sacha Tavolieri on X.
Although Coventry City missed the play-offs this season, Robins has earned widespread praise for his management. After a slow start following a busy summer transfer window, Robins guided the Sky Blues back into the top six contention and led a remarkable FA Cup run, ending in the semi-finals against Manchester United, who narrowly won after a dramatic comeback and VAR decision.
Recently, Robins was linked with Hull City’s vacant position, but the Tigers seem to favor German coach Tim Walter as their new manager. Now, there’s further interest in Robins, with Burnley reportedly considering him if Kompany leaves. Kompany, a Belgium and Manchester City legend, is a candidate for Brighton as they seek a successor to Roberto De Zerbi.
Robins’ success at Coventry City has drawn attention, making him an attractive option for clubs like Burnley. Despite Burnley’s relegation to the Championship, they have ambitious future plans and seek a forward-thinking manager. If Kompany departs, Robins fits their desired profile.
Coventry City has previously faced interest in their key figures, and now Robins is attracting admiration. The 54-year-old is under contract until 2027, meaning any club wanting him would need to pay substantial compensation. However, luring him away could be challenging, given his long-term commitment to Coventry City’s Premier League ambitions.
It remains to be seen if Burnley will make a move, as they explore their options.
