George Boateng leaves Coventry City after Frank Lampard’s arrival

-

English Championship club Coventry City has announced the exit of assistant coach George Boateng.

Boateng, who joined as first-team assistant coach ahead of the 2024/25 season, has parted ways with the club following the appointment of Frank Lampard as head coach.

The managerial change comes after a challenging start to the season for the Sky Blues.

In an official statement, the club said: “Coventry City can confirm that First-Team Coach George Boateng has today left the club.

“We would all like to thank George for his contribution to the Sky Blues since his return to the club in the summer.

“George was a popular figure with the Sky Blues, adding to his 57-game and 7-goal playing spell at the club during the 90s.

“We all wish George the best of luck for the future.”

Boateng, who was also part of Ghana’s technical staff at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, departs with Coventry sitting 17th in the Championship table, just two points clear of the relegation zone.

On another note, Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante, who joined Coventry from West Bromwich Albion this season, has netted three goals in 19 appearances.

He is expected to play a crucial role under Lampard as the club seeks to turn their season around.
