This move marks a pivotal moment for the Sky Blues as they seek to enhance their financial stability and competitiveness in the Championship.
The Saudi firm, known for its investments in various sports franchises, is expected to bring substantial resources to Coventry City. King, who has been at the helm since 2021, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that the influx of capital will enable the club to improve facilities, attract new talent, and strengthen its position in the league. “This is an exciting time for Coventry City,” King remarked. “We have a rich history, and with the support of our new partners, we can aim for greater heights.”
