Mark Robins

Where is Mark Robins now?

Famous for scoring the winner in a 1990 FA Cup game for Manchester United which ultimately meant that Alex Ferguson kept his job, Mark Robins retired from playing in 2005 after a brief spell with Burton Albion.

Starting his professional playing career at Old Trafford where he won the FA Cup and the European Cup Winner’s Cup, he went onto make over 400 first-team appearances and scored over 100 goals for 13 clubs over a 17-year period including spells with teams in Greece, Spain and Denmark. He also won the League Cup in 1997 during his time at Leicester City.

Upon retiring from playing Robins went into management and joined Rotherham United as assistant manager in 2005 before stepping up to manager two years later.

He had two successful seasons at The Millers challenging for promotion in both campaigns before moving to Barnsley in 2009 where he spent a couple of years until he resigned because of differences with the board.

In 2012 he joined Coventry City and quickly became a fan’s favourite after taking them from relegation-battlers to play-off contenders within a few months.

His success led to offers from other clubs and he had managerial spells at Huddersfield Town and then Scunthorpe United before going back to Coventry at the start of 2017.

Within four weeks Robins had won his first trophy with the club when they won the Checkatrade Trophy against Oxford United at Wembley and he enjoyed further success with promotion from League Two in 2018.

He signed a new contract with the Sky Blues in 2019 and won the League One title the following year having lost just three league games all season which also led to him winning the LMA League One Manager of the Year.

In 2022/23 Robins guided his side to the Championship play-off final against Luton Town but they unfortunately lost in a penalty shoot-out.
