The swift turn around in City’s backroom staff now appears complete after Stuart Pearce has pulled off somewhat of a coup by appointing former Swansea City manager, Kenny Jackett, as reserve team manager.<\/p>\n

Of Jackett’s appointment, Pearce said: "We’re delighted to have him here. He is someone that I had hoped to bring in at some stage and had previously thought about working with.<\/p>\n

"I’ve known Kenny for a good length of time. I’ve worked on courses with him, I’ve played schoolboy football with him and he’s someone who I’ve always felt could do a good job. It was fortunate for me the timing of it."<\/p>\n

After Kenny’s previous good work at League One Swansea as a manager, the Blues boss is more than happy with his latest backroom addition, following quickly on the heels of new goalkeeping coach, Eric Steele.<\/p>\n

"He’s worked at Swansea for three years and did extremely well there with a promotion, a play-off and was in seventh in the league when he was moved on. I think in our respect we’ve done extremely good business getting Kenny in," confirmed Pearce.<\/p>\n

"He’ll take our reserves, but because of the squad and the nature of how we operate he will be working with the first team for a fair proportion of the week and will be involved on match days at the weekend.He’s enthusiastic, he’s a good man and I think he’ll be a major asset to this football club.<\/p>\n

"I have two assistants now that have both managed and that in some ways is invaluable. Steve Wigley has been a fantastic help to me and Kenny will fit in well.<\/p>\n

"Maybe at the end of the changes I now have a better staff than I did two weeks ago."<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
