Johnnyp Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Lange might have an input in this. Could see one of these hipster danish coaches that rock up at Brentford now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The entirety of the Michael Beale leaving announcement is Quote Aston Villa can confirm Assistant Head Coach Michael Beale has left the Club to take up the manager’s post at Queens Park Rangers.Michael joined the Club in November last year as part of Steven Gerrard’s backroom staff and leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Aston Villa. Nothing on a search for a replacement. I'd assume either GMac will step up or there is already an incoming replacement lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Didn't we just hire 2 additional assistants (Set Piece guy and "possession" coach?) last summer that stayed on with Gerrard's appointment? Do we need yet another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need yet another one? Coaches and assistant managers are different things, particularly if we're believing what Gerrard has said about Beale being the brains of the operation then he'll need replacing in some way. In theory having coaches for Possession, Set Pieces, Attack and Defence should mean there's less upheaval when the assistant manager moves on, but probably can't ignore the role entirely. Imo, we'll be a bit of a trend setter with the Set Piece role, more and more coaches will become the norm to get the absolute best out of the team. A bit like the NFL - although not to that extent - they have Coaches for everything, one for each position or play style usually. Take New Orleans, they have: 10 Offensive coaches reporting into an Offensive Coordinator 6 Defensive coaches reporting into 2 Co-Coordinators. 4 coaches in Strength and Conditioning 2 in Special Teams All reporting into 1 Head Coach. We'll begin to see something similar for football over the years. Nowhere near as many, but we'll see more and more roles and analysts become the norm.

Xela Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I think @hippo should do it. I'm sure he would get on with Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I don’t think we should promote from within. I think we have too many and should streamline but we’ve supposedly been paid a 6 figure compensation fee for Beale and it’s such an important role we need to get the best we can. I’m hoping we have someone lined up. Alonso would have been an exciting name but even he has only a few years coaching experience, Beale has 20.
