Watford’s head of conditioning Martyn Pert has left the Hornets to become Aidy Boothroyd’s assistant manager at Coventry City.
Pert worked under Boothroyd at Watford before joining Fulham and was brought back to Vicarage Road by Malky Mackay in the summer of 2009, when Mackay described him as “one of the most talented people in his field in the country.”
Boothroyd said: "This is a very good appointment for us and we are delighted to have Martyn on board.
"He is a qualified coach and very highly thought of in the world of sports science.
"He is also a very organised professional who will work well with the team here, both on and off the field and brings new qualities to Coventry City."
Former Watford player and manager Steve Harrison will remain at Coventry as a coach.
We understand Watford have appointed sports scientist Matt Springham as their new strength and conditioning coach at the beginning of September.
