Mark Robins has implemented a strategic two for one approach to his coaching staff at Coventry City this summer as he aims to elevate the team to an elite level in the Championship.
The addition of George Boateng and Rhys Carr to the coaching team, following Dennis Lawrence’s departure, has sparked speculation about their roles in relation to the sudden exit of assistant manager Adi Viveash. However, the club’s recent advertisement for a new Head Coach position indicates a larger plan to redistribute responsibilities within the coaching staff.
Robins explained that the goal is to provide players with the best possible support and opportunities for development. While acknowledging that the club still lags behind other Championship teams in terms of backroom personnel, he is confident that they are making strides towards creating an elite environment.
With the appointment of performance director Claire-Marie Roberts, Robins emphasized the importance of innovation and thoughtful leadership in shaping the team’s culture. Boateng and Carr have specific roles aimed at providing individualized support and attention to players, with a focus on one-on-one coaching.
Despite the changes, Robins expressed satisfaction with the progress so far, noting that Boateng and Carr have quickly adjusted to their new roles and are making valuable contributions to the team. The overall goal is to continue evolving towards an elite environment that maximizes player potential and performance.
