John Sillett, the former manager of Coventry, died at the age of 85.
The family of John Sillett have announced that he has died.
The Sky Blues won the FA Cup in 1987 after defeating Spurs in the Wembley final.
The family are sad about Dad's passing but they are proud of him and what he achieved.
The statement said that his ability to spot things tactically, change them during a game and enhance the abilities of players was top class and that he had the respect of top people in the game.
Dad will be remembered for his FA Cup win, but he was also the manager of two teams that were in the League Cup semi-finals and had the ability to galvanise and gel teams.
Sillett began his career at Chelsea in 1954.
He played over 100 games for them and won the First Division title.

He returned to Hereford for a second time in 1991 and 1992 after he led Coventry to the only major honour in their history.
The great John Sillett has passed away, and DavidPhillips paid tribute to him on the social networking site. The greatest sporting moment of all time was brought to the city of Coventry by George and a man of greatness.
I will miss him. God bless you. The thoughts are with Jean, Neil and the rest of the family.
