Coventry City has appointed former Ghana Black Stars assistant coach George Boateng as their new first-team coach, alongside Rhys Carr.
“Coventry City are delighted to announce the appointment of George Boateng and Rhys Carr as the Club’s new first-team coaches.
“Boateng and Carr join the Sky Blues with immediate effect as the City squad assembles for the start of pre-season training at Ryton, joining goalkeeping coach Aled Williams as part of the Club’s first-team coaching staff.
“48-year-old Boateng is a familiar face to City supporters, having played 57 games and scored 7 goals for the Club from 1998 to 1999 after a move from Feyenoord.”
“We are very pleased to welcome George and Rhys to Coventry City. They both impressed us during the extensive recruitment process for this important role and each brings key skills to the football department,” Robins said.
“Their experience and knowledge will greatly aid our work to maximize the performance and preparation of our team, both in advance of, and on matchdays, and we are excited to begin working with them.”
Coventry manager Robins expressed his enthusiasm about the additions of Boateng and Carr to his coaching staff.
Boateng, who played 57 games for Coventry City between 1998 and 1999, joined the team after their successful season, where they reached the FA Cup semifinals and secured a ninth-place finish in the Championship.
