George Boateng has left his role as Coventry City first-team coach in the wake of Frank Lampard's appointment as head coach.

A club statement said: "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, adding to his 57-game and seven-goal playing spell at the club during the 1990s.

"We all wish George the best of luck for the future."

Lampard is bringing in former Millwall boss Joe Edwards, with whom he has worked at Derby, Everton and Chelsea, as his number two.

Chris Jones is also joining the coaching staff, having worked with Lampard at his previous three clubs.

Rhys Carr, who had been in interim charge of late, having previously been assistant to Mark Robins, will remain on the backroom team as first-team coach.
