Robins spent four years at United having come through the ranks in the club's academy. He has often been credited for saving Sir Alex Ferguson 's career at Old Trafford after his goal secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the 1990 FA Cup third round tie.
But in his seven years in the West Midlands, he managed to mastermind promotion out of League Two and League One before securing them as a solid Championship club. Last season, he pushed United all the way in the FA Cup semi-finals only to lose on penalties after fighting back from 3-0 down. Wednesday night's 2-1 home defeat to Derby County proved to be his last match in charge of the club with Coventry City making the decision to part ways on Thursday. Announcing the ex-United man's departure, Coventry wrote in a statement: "There is no doubt that Coventry City today would not be where it is today without the inspired actions of Mark and his team.
