The Sky Blues look to regroup when they welcome Leeds later today after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the domestic league and the German side in the UCL.

Truthfully, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how fervent this team is from the outset. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this season to be an simple task.
