Taking to social media, Michael Mifsud expressed his excitement for the opportunity and his deep-rooted affection for Coventry City FC, a club he once proudly represented on the field.

‘Here we go! A different kind of debut today! One I’m really looking forward to’, the former footballer wrote on social media.

Outside the stadium, Michael Mifsud was greeted with enthusiasm by fans, who eagerly engaged with him, seizing the chance for photos and conversation.
