Villaphan04 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Very interesting article just put out by The Athletic & Gregg Evans(yes I know) about Lange. Some mentions of his time at Wolves and other tidbits. Johan Lange: the quiet man plotting Aston Villa's revolution – The Athletic Thought that this quote was very interesting, apparently a new data analyst/ recruitment person will be joining in the immediate future. Quote At Bodymoor Heath, Lange is also putting together a talented data team in a bid to out-think some of Villa’s Premier League rivals and to create a culture where data-based decision-making is crucial. The club already has data analysts placed within the first team and recruitment team, but the new hire in this department — thought to be working their notice currently at another club — will look to leverage their work across the club as a whole. The focus of this new unit will also be to build for the future, rather than the here and now. Lange hired Frederik Leth from Copenhagen as Villa’s head of research early this year. He is a bright 28-year-old who has aspirations to follow in the footsteps of the man who has shown faith in him.

I know someone who works as an analyst at Bodymoor Heath, not studying the players but purely analysing the performance levels of the coaching staff. It's clear we're at least investing in breaking away from those clubs only interested in surviving in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious what this would actually look like. What data would show how the coaches were performing and how would they contrast that against the coach doing well but the player being at fault or not buying in? Admittedly part of the coach's duties is to get the players to buy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Gregg, another superficial article without any detail to get your teeth into. Most of his articles are like that. Seems like he has no contacts at the club at all. He talks about us using "analytics" and being "unique". Well, in case you didn't know, every team have been using analytics for a while now. I would like to know what we are actually doing that is unique, but you won't get that from Greg's articles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
