Attacking phases incorporating wing backs

Attacking phases incorporating wing backs

This session encourages the wing backs to make decisions in different types of attacking situations, whether in the build-up phase, a switch of play or a transition.
Attacking overloads

Attacking overloads

This session is all about transitions, creating overloads and reinforcing the need for quick, ruthless play in the final third. I like it because it is game related and it works to improve on game weaknesses. There is something in this session for every player and it helps teams keep the ball in transition.

Biography

As a player, Graham Coughlan turned out as a centre back for numerous clubs, including Livingston, Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Shrewsbury Town and Southend United.


He started his coaching career while still a player at Southend, serving as reserve team manager and then first team coach in addition to his playing duties.


He joined Bristol Rovers as a defensive coach in 2018, but he was soon appointed manager of the League One side after a brief spell as caretaker manager and successfully steered the club away from the threat of relegation.


After a stint as manager of League Two side Mansfield Town, he joined Sheffield United as a coach with the U23s, but he returned to management in League Two in October 2022 when he was appointed manager of Newport County.
