Mowbray - U21's Role is Flexible

Last updated : 09 June 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that the City U21's coaching role is flexible.

Speaking about the role, Mowbray said to the Coventry Teelgraph's Andy Turner: “I think we’ll be flexible with the 21s.

“It’s not like when I was at Middlesbrough and there were 16-20 players some days who you would class as being part of the Under-21 squad. “Here we have got players like young James Maddison who is very much training with the first team every day, as do a lot of the other younger players.

“So the Under-21 coaching role is a dual role in my mind and when games come around as a coaching staff we can all get involved and sometimes I might take the 21s, and other times it will be Jamie and sometimes Neil.

"It’s all incorporated with our football club but let’s see how that rolls because we are still lacking in numbers of that what we would call “21s” group.

“It’s not necessarily a role for a coach to come in to look after three or four players.”
