City have strengthened their coaching staff with the appointment of Chris Cohen as assistant head coach.
Cohen returns to the Imps, having helped Tom Shaw during his spell as interim head coach earlier in the season. He will now work alongside Tom in supporting head coach Michael Skubala.
Cohen has Premier League coaching experience having been assistant to Nathan Jones at Southampton, continuing their partnership from their hugely successful time at Luton Town. He also had previous coaching roles at Nottingham Forest, following an illustrious playing career in the Garibaldi red.
Director of football Jez George said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Chris back to Lincoln City, this time in a permanent and formal role. Chris quickly built a strong relationship with the club, staff and players during Tom’s period as interim head coach and earned the respect of everyone with his knowledge, drive, character and desire to improve players. Quite simply, he is a real coup for the club and we are really excited at the coaching team we have now assembled.
“When Michael was appointed we agreed that we should take our time in finding the right person, and all along we knew that was Chris. His last role was in the Premier League, so when trying to bring someone to the club of his calibre, we also needed to give him time before committing to Lincoln City. Chris will work on the grass every day with Michael and Tom to develop our players individually as well as contributing to the collective task of winning matches in League One. We can’t wait for Chris to get started.”
