Coaching Sessions

Attacking and defending transitions

Transitions

This is a session designed to encourage the defending team to win the ball back and quickly play it forward to their attackers. The attacking players then have to look after the ball and bring in other players to transition and help to create chances against the opposition.

Biography

As a player, John Eustace represented Coventry City, Stoke City, Watford and Derby County as a central midfielder.

After hanging up his playing boots in 2015, he took to coaching the following year when he was appointed manager of Kidderminster Harriers, newly relegated from the National League. He led the club to runners up in the National League North in 2017 and into the National League North play-offs in both 2017 and 2018.

In May 2018, Eustace joined his former boss Steve McClaren at Queens Park Rangers in the role of assistant manager at Loftus Road. Following McClaren’s departure from the club in April 2019, Eustace served as QPR’s caretaker manager for seven matches before reverting to assistant manager, the role he stills holds at the club.
