The Sky Blues are currently three points from the bottom of the league standings after losing their first ten league games of the current campaign.
Following Wednesday’s 2-2 home draw with AFC Wimbledon, which proved to be his final game in charge, Mowbray, 52, told BBC Sport, “The table doesn’t lie.”
“It’s not cool to lose ten games in a row. I’m a respectable man.”
Longtime number two for Mowbray, Mark Venus, the club’s technical director, will “take responsibility of first-team duties with immediate effect,” beginning at Port Vale on Saturday, according to a statement on City’s official website.
In addition, Mowbray was acknowledged for “all his energy and dedication over the past 18 months” in the statement.
Jamie Clapham, the first team coach, has also left, and has been replaced by Nicky Eaden, a former Birmingham City defender who was also the coach of the Sky Blues Under-23 squad.
“I won’t be a burden to this club,” Mowbray, who had City at the top of the standings just ten months prior, said to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. I am aware of how much money our club requires.”There are glimmer of optimism here. It’s a man’s game, despite the guys’ tremendous effort,” the Yorkshireman continued. “They’re in a man’s league as babies.
