Under his leadership, the team achieved promotion to the First Division in 1964, marking a significant milestone in the club's history. Hill's innovative tactics and charismatic personality made him a fan favorite and earned him the nickname "Mr. Coventry". Assistant manager Alan Dicks joined Coventry City in 1963, having previously played for the club as a winger. Dicks made over 200 appearances for Coventry before moving into coaching and management. He went on to manage Southend United and Millwall. Coach Pat Saward was an experienced player and coach, having previously played for clubs such as Arsenal and Leicester City.
