Morning, nonetheless not lots occurring however there are a few bits and items we are able to take a look at earlier than Mikel Arteta’s press convention this morning.
First up is that Carlos Cuesta, certainly one of his teaching workers, has been linked with the Norwich City job in the summertime. He’s an fascinating character, this profile from Training Ground 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 throughout the Amazon documentary, doing one on one periods with gamers – or at the least 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 workers 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, would possibly effectively have been working in direction of changing into a supervisor in his personal proper. Clearly it’s essential to do a variety of work, garner expertise, study a lot concerning 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 will nonetheless be one thing of a problem for somebody underneath 30 who has by no means performed the sport professionally, however possibly now he’s at an age the place these type of challenges begin to turn into obtainable.
I’d additionally say that being a part of Mikel Arteta’s teaching workers piques the curiosity of potential candidates. Everybody can see what Arsenal was once, and what Arsenal at the moment are, so no matter function you play in that development has to look good in your CV. It’s one for the summer season, for very apparent causes, however will probably be fascinating to see what occurs. It’s price mentioning that whereas Arteta did herald expertise within the form of Spherical and Albert Stuivenberg, the appointments of Cuesta and Miguel Molina (each of their 20s) had been fairly courageous. A younger supervisor giving younger coaches an opportunity, so if Cuesta decides to take up the Norwich job, or some other which may come his manner, we’ll see if he repeats that with whoever is available in as a substitute.
Past that, Marquinhos has joined Fluminense on loan. There’s discuss this one has an choice to make it everlasting, however I’m unsure. It’s troublesome 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 without end 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 would possibly shock us. I don’t suppose it issues an excessive amount of if he doesn’t although.
Proper, I’m going to depart it there for this morning. We’ll convey you all of the press convention stuff over on Arseblog News, and there’s a model new Arsecast with Charles Watts beneath. Comfortable listening.
