Coventry City first-team coach Rhys Carr has left after seven months working for the Championship club.

Carr joined the Sky Blues' coaching staff in June from Wolves as part of then boss Mark Robins' summer backroom reshuffle.

He then took over as interim boss for three games between the sacking of Robins on 7 November and Frank Lampard's appointment three weeks later, when Carr returned to his position as first-team coach.

But, in a statement, the Sky Blues said that "the club and Rhys have now mutually decided to part ways".

The statement added: "Coventry City would like to wish Rhys the best of luck for the future and thank him for his contribution to the club, including his work with the players and staff day-to-day at Ryton and his period as interim head coach.

Prior to joining City, Carr had been elite player development coach for two years at Wolves, spent six months as lead professional development phase coach with Bristol Rovers and almost two years as individual development coach at Sheffield United.

City currently sit 12th in the Championship, six points shy of a play-off place, having lost just three of their first 13 games under Lampard.
