How Coventry City Finally Returned to the Premier League

Back At Last tells the story of Coventry City’s long-awaited return to the Premier League after 25 years away. From relegation and exile to a record-breaking Championship title under Frank Lampard, this is the inside account of the season that brought the Sky Blues back.

Back At Last is the story of how Coventry City finally returned to the Premier League, ending a 25-year journey.

Relegated in 2001 after 34 consecutive years in English football’s top flight, Coventry City were expected to bounce back quickly. Instead, the club endured a generation of struggle: multiple relegations, administration and years spent playing away from their home city, as uncertainty and instability took hold.

In 2025/26, the journey finally came to an end. Under Frank Lampard, Coventry City took the Championship by storm, scoring goals freely and securing the title at a canter to seal their return to the Premier League.

Told with the insight of key figures including Steve Ogrizovic, Liam Kelly, Dave Boddy and Michael Doyle, Back At Last charts a record-breaking season in full – from the defining matches and winning runs to the off-the-pitch moments that reshaped the club’s future, including the deal that brought the CBS Arena back into Coventry City’s hands.
