1993–94 Coventry City F.C. Season
During the 1993–94 English football season, Coventry City F.C. competed in the FA Premier League. 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 through the opening months of 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 which they had been tipped for in the last four seasons. Kit Coventry City's kit was manufactured by Ribero and sponsored by French car maker Peugeot.
