“He has an excellent reputation within the game and his work is highly regarded by coaches, players and club owners alike,” said , externalStoke’s sporting director Jonathan Walters.
“Chris works very closely with players on an individual basis to help develop their attributes for the team.”
Cohen replaces Paul Gallagher who left the club on 11 June, having joined the Potters’ coaching staff last summer before stepping into a brief spell as caretaker manager after the sacking of then boss Alex Neil.
Stoke, managed by Steven Schumacher, finished 17th in the Championship table last season.
