Tim Sherwood is set to sign for Coventry City after agreeing a two year deal which will be completed before the start of the season.

The former Blackburn,Spurs and Portsmouth midfielder said "This is a great opportunity for me to come back and show people what I am capable of. "Peter Reid has sold the club to me and I am well aware of the ambition of everybody connected with Coventry City. "There is a new stadium on the way and every player is looking forward to the new season. I have won promotion with Blackburn and Portsmouth and I would desperately like to achieve the same with Coventry."

"'It is never easy being injured for a long time but Peter has given me this opportunity and I am determined to make the most of it. "He is a proven manager with a track record of success and it is clear to see that he has got a very good nucleus of young players and I hope my experience will be beneficial to them."
