It’s set to be an interesting summer for the Sky Blues, as Mark Robins looks to build a team that can push for a play-off place again, after they fell short last time out.
However, that doesn’t tell the story of what was still a memorable campaign, as Coventry came within inches of reaching the FA Cup final following a remarkable comeback against Man Utd at Wembley.
Coventry City miss out on Marko Stamenic signing
But, attention is now firmly on improving the squad for next season, and it had been claimed that Stamenic was a target for Coventry, with reports stating that they had agreed a £4 million deal with the Serbian champions for the New Zealand international.
Yet, it has since been announced that Forest have signed the 22-year-old, who has immediately been loaned to Olympiacos, where he will spend the 2024/25 season.
On paper, he would’ve appeared to have been an impressive capture for Coventry, as Stamenic had impressed in Belgrade, so he could have added more quality to Robins’ side in the middle of the park; perhaps alongside Ben Sheaf.
Coventry City urged to keep hold of Ben Sheaf following Marko Stamenic decision
Despite that, most would agree that bringing in a new midfielder isn’t a priority for Coventry right now, as it’s an area that they are well-stocked in.
But, with doubts about the future of key man Ben Sheaf, amid interest from Ipswich and Fulham among others, the dynamic would change considerably if he was sold.
Of course, all connected to Coventry want to keep Sheaf, and FLW’s Sky Blues fan pundit Neil Littlewood took encouragement from the fact that the club didn’t pursue a move for Stamenic as proof that their star man will remain at the CBS Arena.
