Coventry City F.C., an English Championship team, has appointed George Boateng as a first-team coach. Boateng, a former assistant coach for the Black Stars, will collaborate with Rhys Carr at the club.
Boateng and Carr will start their roles immediately as the City squad gathers for pre-season training at Ryton.
City supporters will recognize Boateng, who played 57 games and scored 7 goals for the club between 1998 and 1999 after transferring from Feyenoord. The former midfielder is remembered for his two goals in a league victory against Aston Villa at Villa Park, a feat not achieved by the Sky Blues in 63 years.
In addition to his time at Coventry, Boateng played for Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Hull City, and Nottingham Forest. Although Ghanaian-born, he represented the Netherlands internationally four times.
Boateng's coaching experience includes positions at Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa, where he coached the Under-18 and then the Under-23 teams.
He served as the assistant coach of the Black Stars during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon. Despite the team's poor performance and the subsequent dismissal of the technical team, Boateng was retained. He worked alongside Otto Addo to help Ghana qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but stepped down after the Black Stars' early exit from the tournament.
