Former Black Stars assistant head coach George Boateng has left his Coventry City Football Club assistant manager role.

His departure from Coventry City follows Frank Lampard’s appointment as manager of the English Championship club.

Lampard has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal to coach the club after briefly out of coaching and working as a TV pundit.

The football legend has coached Chelsea (twice) and Everton after almost leading Derby County to English Premier League qualification. He excelled as a player with Chelsea.

Boateng joined Coventry City this season as one of two deputies for manager Mark Robins following his run with Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFCON.

Coventry rank 17^th in the Championship and are just two points above the relegation zone at the time of Boateng’s departure. Boateng played for Coventry City in his playing career.
