Morning, nonetheless not so much occurring however there are a few bits and items we will take a look at earlier than Mikel Arteta’s press convention this morning.
First up is that Carlos Cuesta, one in all his teaching employees, has been linked with the Norwich Metropolis job in the summertime. He’s an attention-grabbing character, this profile from Coaching Floor Guru again in 2021 outlines a few of his background and expertise, and it’s very uncommon to see somebody of simply 28 with all of that have underneath their belt.
We noticed him in the course of the Amazon documentary, doing one on one classes with gamers – or not less than the very broad strokes of these as a result of I’m fairly certain Arsenal didn’t permit something overly delicate hit the screens – and he has turn into a bit extra central to the teaching employees because the departure of Steve Spherical final summer season.
So, it appears pretty regular that somebody who began his teaching profession at 18 with Atletico Madrid, may nicely have been working in the direction of turning into a supervisor in his personal proper. Clearly you could do a variety of work, garner expertise, study a lot in regards to the job, dressing room dynamics, and so forth, however you additionally have to have some measure of authority to be a head coach or a supervisor. It might nonetheless be one thing of a problem for somebody underneath 30 who has by no means performed the sport professionally, however perhaps now he’s at an age the place these sort of challenges begin to turn into accessible.
I’d additionally say that being a part of Mikel Arteta’s teaching employees piques the curiosity of potential candidates. Everybody can see what Arsenal was, and what Arsenal are actually, so no matter position you play in that development has to look good in your CV. It’s one for the summer season, for very apparent causes, however it is going to be attention-grabbing to see what occurs. It’s value mentioning that whereas Arteta did usher in expertise within the form of Spherical and Albert Stuivenberg, the appointments of Cuesta and Miguel Molina (each of their 20s) have been fairly courageous. A younger supervisor giving younger coaches an opportunity, so if Cuesta decides to take up the Norwich job, or another that may come his means, we’ll see if he repeats that with whoever is available in as a alternative.
Past that, Marquinhos has joined Fluminense on mortgage. There’s speak this one has an choice to make it everlasting, however I’m undecided. It’s tough to see him return. He seems like a modern-day Amaury Bischoff (PI), a comparatively low cost punt that didn’t work out and he’ll exist in our Arsenal consciousness perpetually as a result of that’s what occurs. Hey, he had a stunning second when he scored within the Europa League, and who is aware of? He may shock us. I don’t assume it issues an excessive amount of if he doesn’t although.
Proper, I’m going to depart it there for this morning. We’ll deliver you all of the press convention stuff over on Arseblog Information, and there’s a model new Arsecast with Charles Watts beneath. Blissful listening.
