That's an awful lot of people to replace and compensate when Arbeloa eventually leaves the club!
As all managers do eventually.

Isn't that the case for all managers? Any manager worth their salt will have a backroom of staff.

[cmg]

Need one more for the full XI.

[FFC007]

Scouts?

[sunburywhite]

All of them have facial hair as well

[SP]

And a distinct lack of tattoos.

Scouts?

That would be TK's analytics company

[Deuce]

Still no set pieces coach

Dross then...

[Deeping_white]

Scouts?

Head coaches/managers never have their own scouts?

[DadCreature]

Good.  Now sign some players to compete with these coaches.

Still no set pieces coach

From The Athletic re. Julian Carmona:

"...he has been Arbeloa's right-hand man, responsible for areas including set pieces and attacking situations."

Great to have them aboard. If they can get us playing like the Spanish national team I'll be chuffed.

As long as they cut out the diving!

And a distinct lack of tattoos.

That's a good sign

I'd be happier if there was a defending coach there too
In so many games over the last 2 years, any opponent's attack has seemed to open us completely up. It's only because of last minute tackles, great saves or poor finishing that we didn't concede so many more goals. Surely there is a better way to organise at the back and stop runs through massive defensive gaps

[SP]

They look very happy to be joining a grade A joke club.
