Pressing to win

Pressing to win

This is a defending practice that I like to use. It’s all about pressing and it encourages players to adopt a ‘don’t get beat’ attitude. It makes players want to engage and be in close contact with their opponents.

Biography

Pete Wild played amateur football before taking up coaching at the age of 18. After working for Oldham Athletic for 12 years, including a spell as their interim academy manager, Wild was appointed as caretaker manager of the League Two club in December 2018.

He led Oldham to a celebrated victory over Premier League Fulham in the third round of the FA Cup and won four of the eight games he oversaw before the appointment of Paul Scholes.

After the departure of Scholes the following month, he was appointed manager on a contract until the end of the season. He won four and drew two of his nine matches in charge, but left the club at the end of his contract.

In July 2019, Wild was appointed the manager of National League Premier side Halifax Town and led the team to a sixth-placed finish and to the quarter-finals of the National League play-offs.
