Rhys Carr (born 16 November 1986) is a Welsh football coach and former player who is a first team coach of EFL Championship club Coventry City.
Carr played in the Cymru Premier for Cardiff Grange Quins and Llanelli Town. He also featured for Pontypridd Town.[1] He managed Pontypridd United between 2017 and 2021.[2]
Carr had positions in coaching at Swansea City and Cardiff City, prior to spending five years at Bristol City. He ended a two-year spell at Sheffield United in 2021 to return to his wife and children in Wales.[1]
At the start of 2022, Carr was hired at Bristol Rovers to work in their academy. He left that June for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, again in a development role.[3] He was also an assistant manager for the Republic of Ireland women's national football team, and moved in July 2024 into the staff of Mark Robins at EFL Championship club Coventry City.[4] He and former Coventry midfielder George Boateng were brought in as assistants after Adi Viveash left the club.[5]
Robins was sacked on 7 November 2024 after over seven years in charge, with Coventry in 17th place. Carr was put in interim charge.[6] He led the team to two draws and a loss before Frank Lampard was appointed on 28 November; Carr remained as first-team coach.[7] [8]
