Chris joins the Sky Blues from Norwich City, where he had been Head of European scouting.
Badlan joined the Canaries in May 2017, prior to which he had been Head of Emerging Talent at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he had also previously been Technical Recruitment Officer.
“Unlike previous changes in recruitment staff, thanks to the work to create a Recruitment Department the transition will be seamless. We are pleased that Stuart Bentham, the club’s recruitment analyst, continues in his role and the club’s recruitment database remains, so the club and Chris are in a strong position to hit the ground running going into the summer.”
"Having someone coming from the youth side into the first team is great when we’re looking to develop young and hungry players.
"With Chris, he’s always had a real firm handle on Europe. His knowledge of foreign players is pretty much encyclopaedic.
"We’ve spoken about being open-minded in terms of who we sign. That includes foreign players and Chris has a really strong working knowledge of this level.
He is only a young bloke, didn't start full time work until this decade!

Ha! Ask a Norwich fan! They have signed a number of German players from the second tier, very few of whom have worked out!Obvious potential party pooper question: did Norwich sign many foreign players that worked out? (I have no idea)
Yep, and hopefully we’ll get benefit if he gets sold this summer. In fairness, he wasn’t hard to spot.Well Norwich spotted James Maddison. He turned out ok.

Would think he was appointed by Mark Robins rather than BoddyNEWS: Coventry City appoint Chris Badlan as Head of Recruitment
Sounds like Boddy got it sorted as soon as he realised TW was going.
