who owns coventry city fc

Coventry City FC is owned by businessman Doug King, who holds 100% of the club’s shares and acts as chairman.

Current club owner

• Doug King became majority owner in January 2023 when he acquired an initial 85% stake in Coventry City, subject to EFL approval.

• Shortly after, he bought out the remaining shares from previous owners Sisu, giving him full (100%) control of the club.

Role and influence

• King serves as a very hands-on chairman, openly describing himself as “too involved” at times in the day‑to‑day running of the Championship side.

• He has framed his ownership as a long‑term project focused on both football success and wider benefits for the Coventry community.

Stadium ownership twist

• In August 2025, Coventry City completed the purchase of the Coventry Building Society Arena (their home ground) from Frasers Group, ending years as tenants at the stadium.

• This deal means the club itself now owns the stadium, while Doug King remains the club’s sole owner overseeing both team and stadium strategy.
