Season summary

Coventry City's 27th successive season in the top flight began with a superb 3-0 win at Arsenal in which striker Micky Quinn scored a hat-trick. Coventry's surprisingly good form continued throughout the season, so it was a surprise to all when manager Bobby Gould handed in his notice on 23 October 1993. Phil Neal, formerly of Bolton Wanderers, was announced as Gould's successor; despite having no experienced outside the league's third tier, he was able to defy the odds and keep Coventry well clear of the relegation that they had been tipped for at least the last four seasons.

Kit

Coventry City's kit was manufactured by Ribero and sponsored by French car maker Peugeot.
