The official Coventry City website stated that Heath had resigned to take up his new position, but the story was later withdrawn.
Derby County refused, during the day to be drawn on the matter but Heath was in attendance at the Rams 1 - 0 defeat at Notts County.
When asked for an update on the situation after the game Derby manager Phil Brown would only say, "Adrian resigned from Coventry this morning. He is a close friend of mine and was at the match tonight. More than that I wont say for now."
