In an official quote from the Coventry official website Dennis said:
“I would like to thank the Coventry City fans for their support during my time at this incredible club.
“I will take with me the great memories we shared, in particular our 4-1 victory versus Sheffield United which I had the honour of leading the team on the day.
“I will take with me the song We Live And Die In These Towns, as I constantly tapped my feet before kick-off at every home fixture.
“Wishing Coventry City every success going forward – PUSB.”
On Wednesday March 24 in an official statement from the Minnesota FC website MNUFC Chief Soccer
Officer and Sporting Director Khaled El-Ahmad stated
“I am excited to welcome Dennis to Minnesota United, first and foremost, he is a great person. Along with his character, he brings a wealth of experience in coaching at nearly every level in soccer,”
“His perspectives coaching for both club and country will provide the club valuable insight that will continue to set our players up for success each week. Dennis and Eric Ramsay know each other well, and are fully aligned in the way we want to play. I look forward to experiencing their chemistry as they continue building on our overall vision for the club.”

from 2000-10, and notably played in all three Group Stage games of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in
Germany.
Lawrence holds a UEFA Pro License Coaching Qualification, a FIFA Technical Directors Course, a UEFA
