Coventry City announce George Boateng’s departure after Frank Lampard’s arrival

English Championship side, Coventry City have confirmed the departure of George Boateng. 

Boateng, who was appointed as the first team assistant coach prior to the start of the ongoing 2024/25 season has left the club following the appointment of Frank Lampard as the new head coach of the club after a difficult start to the campaign.

A club statement read, “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 part of Ghana’s technical team during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar left the club at the 17th position in the Championship, just two points above the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante, who moved to Coventry from West Bromwich Albion this season, has scored three goals in 19 appearances and he is expected to play a key role under Frank Lampard.
