Cov is a casual British abbreviation for Coventry — the industrial city in the West Midlands of England, home to Coventry City FC and historically famous for its car manufacturing and cathedral. The shortening follows the standard British pattern of clipping place names (cf. 'Brum' for Birmingham, 'Manc' for Manchester). Used informally in local speech, football contexts, and online among people from or familiar with Coventry. It does not carry particular positive or negative connotation by itself.
He was born and raised in Cov and had no interest in moving despite everyone assuming he would.
