Newcastle are advertising for a set-piece coach to 'work closely with the first team coaching staff, analysts and players to maximise performance outcomes from dead-ball situations'. His assistant Jason Tindall has been the lead on dead-ball situations for the past few years and has been pretty effective.

Only Aston Villa, Manchester City and Brentford conceded fewer goals from set-pieces than Newcastle's tally of eight last term. But the meticulous Howe now wants more and is 'looking for an experienced and innovative elite level coach to support our first team by leading the strategic planning, design, and execution of all offensive and defensive set-play routines.'

Champions League places CONFIRMED after Aston Villa VAR controversy as Newcastle have to be saved by Man Utd There is no suggestion that Howe is not happy with Tindall and the rest of the current staff's set-piece planning, but rather he is just chasing that extra few per cent to help his men improve at both ends of the pitch. Advertisement In fact, Howe was full of praise for his No2 and the rest of those that focus on set-pieces. He said earlier this season: 'There's always a team, it's never one person. Jason will be the first to say that. 'Jason spends a lot of time on set-plays. Kieran Taylor, our analyst, spends a lot of time on set plays. We work on them individually and collectively. 'Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The goals need to come from somewhere and there needs to be a regular source. Advertisement 'Congratulations to everyone who does the work on them. Ultimately the players are the ones who have to do it and the staff will acknowledge that.'

Former Gunner admits Mikel Arteta inspired his coaching career
Jack Wilshere is currently working as an assistant coach at Norwich City, having previously had a spell as the Arsenal u18s' head coach. Eventually, the goal is to get the top job for a senior side, and Wilshere admitted this week that dream was sparked by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta. 'Mikel was the one,' Wilshere said. 'I'd never seen someone coach that way, I'd never seen his passion, I'd never seen how he would try to teach the players, both in meetings and on the pitch. 'I was invited back to train when I was between clubs, I saw it, I was on my Uefa A Licence at the time and it inspired me.' It's not the first time Wilshere has alluded to Arteta's influence in his decision to start coaching, previously saying: 'I went back to Arsenal and worked with Mikel a little bit, and he actually really inspired me (to get into coaching). The way he coached, I'd never seen anything like it. 'Of course, I wasn't that comfortable, because I'd never really coached before. I started to then get the bug and started to coach a little bit within the academy and with my career finishing I felt like it was the right step.' Wilshere ultimately left Arsenal for Norwich back in October, joining as an assistant to head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup. The former midfielder certainly managed to give something back with Arsenal's young players, proving an inspiring figure to the current crop coming through. In fact, he was so impactful that there was talk of a few youth players being very disappointed and concerned when he left. But that's football, coaches come and go. Wilshere had to make the right step for his own career, and that's another lesson he's taught those young Arsenal players.

'Brave' club needed to lead way with female boss
Non-league coach Rosi Webb believes having females in charge of men's professional teams could become a norm once a club is "brave enough" to be the first to do it. Stanway Pegasus boss Webb, one of very few females in charge of a men's team in England, recently obtained a Uefa A license. It entitles her to coach teams up to the second tier of English football, but she would need a Uefa Pro license for a job in the Premier League. "There's certainly a lot of talented females out there that, first of all, hold the right qualifications but also have experience in the game," she told BBC Essex. "I think sometimes clubs aren't brave enough to do it because if they were we'd have a female (in charge of a team) already. "As soon as one club does it, it will probably start to become the norm a little bit but it will take that first club to take that step." No club has ever appointed a female manager in the top five tiers of English football, although Hannah Dingley had a two-week spell as interim boss of Forest Green Rovers in 2023 where she was head of their academy. Female coach in charge of men's team earns A licence Men's game not ready for female manager - Hayes Dingley enjoying journey after moment of history Webb believes that a female should only be appointed on merit, not on the basis of attracting headlines. "I'd like to think that there's a club out there that will give a female a job because they deserve the job," she added. "It's got to be the right fit for the club. It's like any job - whoever gets it should be the right person for the job." Webb obtained her A license 10 years on from earning her previous B qualification after studying over a period of eight months at the St George's Park national training centre in Burton-upon-Trent. "It was a bit of a relief because the course is so intense, like you'd expect it to be being a Uefa qualification," Webb said. "It took about a year to complete. "In between each block, you'd have two online calls and talk about things like tactics and strategy and you'd also have a minimum of six visits, so a coach developer would come out into your environment and watch your sessions." She continued: "There's always going to be trends in the game and we've gone from playing long to playing out (from) the back - it will be a forever evolving game and we see things now where players don't just play one position, they look to rotate. "It's also the other bits around it like analysis and injury prevention, which all inform the practices you're putting on - it's not just a case of turning up and putting sessions on, you have to take into account everything that comes along with it." Stanway face Framlingham this weekend and are hoping to go one better than the last two seasons when they lost out in the Eastern Counties League Division One North play-offs. Given her current level of qualification permits her to coach up to Championship level, Webb was asked whether she would fancy coaching a club like leaders Leeds United one day. She replied: "Not sure about Leeds United but certainly that's probably the aim in around that kind of standard at some point, I guess." Get the latest WSL news on our dedicated page
