Next month, Gary Curneen will take coaches through an intensive four week course where they will take specific themes and discuss them in-depth through webinars, along with assignments where coaches will get feedback on their work. Coaches will cover philosophy, tactical analysis and session design, as well as looking at ways they can improve their environment to maximize the time they have with their team. The course will be split into four weeks with a webinar and assignment on each one and is ideal for a coach who is looking at continuing their development and putting processes in place for when practice resumes.

Joe is away on holiday and Josh Schneider-Weiler from Tifo's This Football Life fills in and talks to David Bulchover about his book, The Greatest Comeback, which chronicles the career and life of legendary manager Béla Guttmann. As a manager, Guttmann won titles in Hungary, Brazil, and Portugal. He is most famous for winning back-to-back European Cups with Benfica in 1961 & 1962. He was a coaching pioneer and was ahead of his time in many ways (fitness, psychology etc.). He shares many similarities with Jose Mourinho and other modern-day managers and his imprints are littered throughout the game.
