Coventry City manager Mark Robins has been named as the Sky Bet League One Manager Of The Month for October.
The Sky Blues had five wins during the month of October including late wins at Charlton Athletic and Southend United and their first win at Bradford City since 1959.
The Chairman of the Judging Panel George Burley said: "Mark has got Coventry City quickly adjusted to playing in a league above and they won all five of their last matches in October.
“These included great away wins against Charlton, Southend and Bradford which shows they will be likely contenders for another promotion this season.”
Robins, who becomes the City manager to win the award since Steven Pressley in October 2013 and the first to win two manager of the month awards since Gordon Strachan, paid tribute to his backroom staff and players saying: “We played some good football early on without getting the results that we deserved to get, but I think that everybody has worked really, really hard behind the scenes and the players have been brilliant this month.
“It is a tough division and difficult to get results in, but we have managed to do that over the last month or so. Hopefully we can kick on and contribute some more good performances because I think some of the football they are playing really entertaining.”
�� Well done to @Coventry_City's Mark Robins...
