He became manager of the team in 1961 and departed six years later, just after the team’s first promotion to the First Division.
At his statue outside Coventry’s home stadium, the Ricoh Arena, condolences are being placed.
Leading the praise was Tony Mowbray, manager of Sky Blues, who called him “a forward-thinker and a revolutionary.
“Everyone at the club is in a state of shock and deep sadness at hearing the news of Jimmy’s death,” he stated.
“History tells us that without the efforts of Jimmy, both on the pitch and off it, Coventry City’s future would have been extremely different from what it is today.”

Bobby Gould, a former player for Coventry City, stated that his former manager deserved “everything I have at this time.”.
“His knowledge of the game was phenomenal, and his understanding of individuals was just brilliant,” he stated.
“He let me have everything.”
According to former Coventry midfielder Ronnie Farmer, Hill was a supportive manager who aspired to play creative football.
“If you were trying to do a job and trying to do it to your best ability, and if you had an off day, he didn’t mind,” he stated.
In honor of the former manager, Micky Gynn, a player for Coventry that defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup final, expressed his wish that the team would be promoted from League One.
“Playing at Coventry for 10 years like I did, you get to know what Jimmy Hill did for the club,” he stated.
