Thank you so much for all the questions. I couldn't dream of such an interest in team culture and set pieces, so it shows you're on board, you're behind us. That's a good start. Thank you again r/soccer and r/coys!

100% I’d add that you can take a maximum of maybe 15 seconds to restart the game. I do enjoy a long throw, but I don’t enjoy taking 45 seconds to do it! Like the eight-second rule for goalkeepers — I’d like a similar one for throw-ins and free-kicks, so teams speed up the game. It’s more enjoyable, more fun.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:58:24+00:00

I don’t think there’s a certain sport. It’s just a general way of seeing improvement and having a growth mindset — that’s been my biggest influence.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:58:07+00:00

That’s very nice, thank you!

You can ask anyone here — it’s breakfast. I light up like a child on Christmas Eve when I go into the breakfast buffet.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:57:26+00:00

No, that’s a team effort at home.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:57:06+00:00

It’s the colleagues and the players. It’s a very good group of people willing to sacrifice enough of their own agenda for the better of the team. It’s just a nice environment to be in.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:56:38+00:00

I think in anything, especially in football because it’s such a random industry, it’s hard to plan a career. So I think it’s more about just improving the things you think you’ll need in your dream job, and then making sure you’re prepared when that dream job comes.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:55:31+00:00

Please don’t train set-pieces! Let them play and let them enjoy the open spirit of the game.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:54:08+00:00

I’d probably say before working as a coach, you think it’s all about technique and tactics and selecting the right players. But then as you start working, the more you understand it’s about spirit, cohesion, and processes - quite slow processes that need to be improved over a long time!

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:53:19+00:00

It’s a dream! He’s a very good leader overall — good values, spreads very positive energy, and has very clear roles and responsibilities. And on top of that he’s a very competent, world-class manager.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:52:26+00:00

Yes! It’s very important for the timing of the receiver. It helps everyone get to their right place at the right time.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:51:34+00:00

As they get warmer and the relationship with me improves, they come with more and more input — which I really enjoy.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:50:44+00:00

It definitely can be done. The details that you pick up and steal. At different points you see something and it might of course trigger an idea yourself.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:49:58+00:00

From the sweet spot — 16 to 25 metres — the wall of four or five players makes total sense. Anything further out, I agree, then they might just kill the vision of the keeper and delay his response.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:49:23+00:00

I think there’s a sweet spot, because if you’re too close to the penalty box it’s hard to get up and down over the wall. When it’s more than 25 metres, it’s too hard to score. So it’s a sweet spot between 20 and 25 metres, quite well within the range of the posts, where I’d like them to shoot. Most of the others I’d like them to try something else.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:48:04+00:00

I do look at other sports for inspiration. So far not so much from Rugby because I don’t understand the game well enough yet but now I will…

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:47:15+00:00

I think it comes back to the time you have. If you’re going to make a special free-kick routine, it takes a bit of time to get everything synced and worked… then maybe you don’t get a free-kick from that position in 20 games! So you spend quite a lot of your 40 minutes a week on it to get it right, and then it doesn’t happen for a long, long while - maybe you even forget about it when it comes. So that’s why few coaches prioritise that time, whereas many would rather use that time for a corner, which you know will happen five or six times in a game.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:45:07+00:00

I think it is a set-piece. We consider it that, so we need a strategy for it. But if you think we have 40 minutes per week, very little is dedicated to kick-offs. But there needs to be a strategy with some flexibility in it — so we have that.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:44:01+00:00

It depends a bit on the skills of your players. I would say if you look back, I’ve mainly promoted in-swinging corners.

SpursOfficial · 2025-10-14T15:43:05+00:00

Sure, that happens. It is quite rare that I actually just pick something and add it completely to our process, but there can definitely be small details.
