The 1990–91 season was Coventry City's 24th consecutive campaign in the Football League First Division, following their promotion from the Second Division in 1967. The club started the season with John Sillett in charge, three years after he and George Curtis had managed the club to victory in the 1986–87 FA Cup. Sillett left the club in November after a run of poor results, and was replaced by Terry Butcher who arrived as a player-manager from Rangers.

Coventry's league form in the season was a contrast between a solid home record and poor away form, as they recorded only one win away from Highfield Road. In the FA Cup they suffered a defeat to Southampton in the fourth round, but the highlight of the season was their run in the League Cup. They beat holders Nottingham Forest 5–4 in the fourth round, before losing to Sheffield Wednesday in the quarter-final.
