Tony Mowbray signs a new two-year contract to remain as Coventry City manager until at least 2017.

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has extended his contract at the Sky Blues until the end of the 2016-17 season.

The 51-year-old joined Coventry in March and secured their safety on the last day of the League One campaign after a run of only four defeats in 14 games.

The former Middlesbrough and Celtic boss reportedly agreed to his new two-year deal after he was promised the resources to set up his own scouting network, and sees that as key to taking the club forward in the coming years.

Mowbray told the club's official website: "We have to place foundations and an infrastructure in my opinion instead of blowing in the wind hoping to find one team, for one particular year to have a good season.

"We need players that the fans associate with that stay here a while and become a foundation. We need this to move forward together as one; manager, players and supporters. That's not something that can be done overnight, it's a long recruitment process.

"Over the next few years, I'm hopeful the club will be in a better position with the quality of players I hope to attract. We want to get some players to create foundations for years to come, not just a short-term fix."

Coventry spent 48 years in English football's top two divisions prior to their relegation to League One in 2012.
