League One side Coventry City have reportedly trimmed down their search for a new manager to three people.

A number of managers are believed to have lodged an interest in the job, which became available when Andy Thorn was sacked late last month.

However, the role will now go to either Paul Ince, Mark Robins or Richard Shaw, according to Sky Sports News.

Both Ince and Robins have been out of work since leaving Notts County and Barnsley respectively last year.

Meanwhile, former defender Shaw is currently in caretaker charge of the Sky Blues.
