Coventry City are expected to unveil Aidy Boothroyd as their new manager this afternoon.

Boothroyd is set to leave his role as U's boss after little more than nine months in charge to take over at the Ricoh Arena.

Boothroyd had been given permission to speak to the Sky Blues yesterday.

And Colchester announced that the two clubs have agreed a compensation package, should the negotiations to appoint him prove successful.
