Thomas Frank’s coaching staff

We haven’t really “hired” him as such, we’ve promoted him. Seems an odd choice of word.

The club announced it as a promotion.
Thought this game a good idea of what his job would be.
But I agree, hire was the wrong term to use from this account

I was just being a bit unnecessarily picky (though did wonder if the poster knew he was already employed).
But regardless, it sounds like a good role to have in place - I don't think we've that as such in recent times?
 
I guess Wayne Burnett wanted to stay as U21 boss so they promoted Stuart Lewis from U18 to this new role, rather than promoting Wayne?

Or maybe he is a better fit / character / age / whatever it is that meant they opted for Stuart. Presuming / hoping Wayne is happy.
 
Go on then, list them all out for me :D
Justin Cochrane - forwards
Matt Wells - defence
Georgson - set pieces and restarts
etc
 
Justin Cochrane: Will be focused on the offensive part of the game and some training planning

Andreas Georgson: assistant coach, with main focus on set pieces, playing from restarts

Matt Wells: Will be focused on the defensive side of the game, and contributing to training

Cameron Campbell: individual coach, big on aiding player development.

Fabian Otte: goalkeeper coach

Chris Haslam: head of performance, focuses on the physical part of football training

Stuart Lewis: helping players to transition from academy to first team, and helping to strengthen the bond between the academy and the first team

---------

Joe Newton: First Team Coach Analyst

Nick Stubbings: Head of Medical
 
I must say this line up is making me feel very optimistic about the coming season. TF seems comfortable having a good team around him, all driving in the same direction. Whilst on the surface Ange seemed more of a lone wolf (appeared so anyway)
 
I'm feeling the same. It was clear Ange was big on giving opportunities to people which is admiralable but I'm not convinced it's the best course of action for getting the best out of an elite team.

Seeing the small amount we have so far it is clear Frank is big on having a close knit team with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Things seem to have been well thought through. Let's hope this leads to big improvements on the pitch. Definitely feeling optimistic at this early stage.

There is a line in the video (think from Lange) about how they had interviewed Frank, then needed to focus on how they support him.

That so feels like something we have missed in the past.
 
Two of Ange’s assistants (Chris Davies and Ryan Mason) got first team jobs during their time on his staff. Matt Wells is still around.

But then I guess the rest of them were unknown Aussies/had worked in the A-League so of course they couldn’t have been any good.

Those were 2 coaches that had been offered other roles before Ange came along so clubs were clearly looking at them for a while.

So? The point that's repeatedly been made is that the coaching staff Ange chose were not good enough. It's a similar point that's been made about Scott Munn, without anyone know what his job actually was.

People see a result (Spurs finished 17th) and extrapolate from there: everyone involved must be terrible at their jobs.
