Adkins role in coaching the first team

[AnonymousBlade1995]

With the appointment of Adkins and his coaching staff i'm curious as to what he will be doing other than man management and tactics?

Clough had a hands on approach when it came to coaching, possibly one his faults however i feel like a manager should be involved in training the players in one form or another because in the end he is the one who picks the team which should be based on who performs the best following what the manager wants.

He we go, the knit picking begins!!

All managers have 1 or 2 assistants that help coach the team on a daily basis. With a squad of 20-30 players training is often segmented to focus on units or individuals before bringing it together to work as a whole group, therefore multiple coaches are needed.

Additionally, a manager has to take care of managing the first team squad, transfers, dealing with agents, board members, planning the week, planning the season - both micro and meso cycles. For a manager to do everything is impossible.

Alex ferguson rarely ran practices as he got older - he never missed one - but would tell his assistants what to plan on doing, then observe, give input when needed and focus on man management.....he seemed to have a pretty good career.

Whatever method works is fine with me, as long as we get results and promotion.

Fergie didn't he just had good coaches under him. I'd say knowing your strengths and weakness' is the key skill.
Borbokisfreekick got in before me.

Whatever method works fine with me also . Just keep the players fresh ( without fatigue ) , motivated , knowing roles , responsibilities , no carrying dead wood , and ultimately getting results and promotion.

Sounds simple doesn't it.

I recall reading that this was (allegedly) one of Micky Adams' failings - he tried doing too much himself, not realising the number of roles required and was caught out not being able to manage all the responsibilities at a club (significantly) bigger than Port Vale
