The 47-year-old first team coach has been with the Sky Blues for nine months and is loving life at Ryton
The coach of Coventry City provides an inside look at the success of the Sky Blues.
Dennis Lawrence filled in for Coventry City manager Mark Robins after he and his reliable assistant Adi Viveash were hospitalised with COVID-19 this month.
The first team coach, who was named the best candidate for the position by Robins upon his appointment, joined the Sky Blues last summer. The 47-year-old center-half, who had previously played for Swansea City and Wrexham, was tasked with helping players grow as individuals or in a group or team environment.
He assists Robins and Viveash, who usually take the lead in coaching, on the training pitch and in match preparation on a daily basis. For Lawrence, who has managed Trinidad and Tobago, his nation, for which he has 89 years of experience, Robins called it a “very rounded role.”
And against Sheffield United he was thrust back into the managerial limelight as caretaker boss for the day, proving to be a more than safe pair of hands as he oversaw a brilliant 4-1 thumping of the Blades at the CBS Arena.
