Coventry City legend Steve Ogrizovic will become the club's new reserve team boss after Sky Blues boss Iain Dowie unveiled a restructuring of his backroom staff at the Ricoh Arena.
Dowie was appointed Micky Adams' successor in February and has decided to promote former goalkeeper Ogrizovic - who made over 600 appearances in 16 years with the club - from his position as academy manager.
Meanwhile, assistant academy manager Brian Borrows will leave the club.
"The board believes quite strongly that the academy should come under the guidance of the first team manager and I am delighted Iain has decided to embrace this decision," said Sky Blues managing director Paul Fletcher.
"In Iain we have a man who wants to be involved in every aspect of the club from the bottom to the top and I am sure he will relish this opportunity of helping to bring through new talent.
"Steve Ogrizovic is an iconic figure for the Sky Blues who will undoubtedly be an asset for Iain within the first-team set up."
