Joe Edwards and Chris Jones have both been added to the Coventry ranks, having worked with Lampard at Chelsea.
Boateng, therefore, has departed after less than six months on from his appointment.
A statement issued by the club read: “Coventry City can confirm that first-team coach George Boateng has today left the club.
“We would all like to thank George for his contribution to the Sky Blues since his return to the club in the summer.
“George was a popular figure with the Sky Blues, adding to his 57 game and seven-goal playing spell at the club during the 90s. We all wish George the best of luck for the future.”
He hung up his boots in 2013, ending his career in Malaysia. The 49-year-old moved into management in Malaysia before returning to England, taking up a position in the Blackburn Rovers youth system before spells with Aston Villa and the Ghana national team.
