Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that he is delgihted to have Lee Glover coaching City U21's.
The Sky Blues appointed the former Nottingham Forest player earlier in the week and speaking about him to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Mowbray said: “It’s a hugely important job and something that we felt we couldn’t let the talent at this club not be nurtured really, so we have found the resource to fill the post,
“We feel that there’s some really talented footballers in the Under-21s and what’s important is that they get the care, attention and mentoring; someone to talk to on a daily basis to tell them how they are performing and what they need to do to improve and get the manager’s eye to get them around the first team.
"It also frees up Jamie Clapham and me to concentrate on the senior squad.
“Jamie was doing both jobs and it was a lot of extra work between us, coming in on a Sunday to prepare the Under-21s for a Monday match so they were long, hard weeks,” said Mowbray, who says an impressive short-list shows the club is still a big name in football.
“We had scores of applications and interviewed seven in the end, went through a proper process with a panel of five or six of us and came up with a decision.
“I’d have to say the calibre of people was very high and it’s great credit to the name of this football club that it attracted the people it did.”
