→ Drogba11: 這教練真的強 之前的定位球教練早該換了 07/25 12:07
Aston Villa are set to lose set-piece coach Austin MacPhee who is on the
verge of joining Premier League rivals Chelsea, BirminghamLive can
exclusively reveal.
It's yet another big blow for Unai Emery's side, with the 46-year-old set to
follow Morgan Rogers to Stamford Bridge, just days after the England
international's ￡117m move.
MacPhee is understood to have said his goodbyes to players and staff today
(Friday) ahead of a move to the Blues, where he'll link up with new Chelsea
boss Xabi Alonso.
He joined Villa after leaving Midtjylland in August 2021 and has been a key
figure in the coaching set-up since his arrival.
When Dean Smith left the club, MacPhee stayed on as a result of his brilliant
work and his impact on the Villa tactics alongside Unai Emery has been clear
to see.
At the end of last season, Villa scored from set pieces in three consecutive
games, with Youri Tielemans scoring in the Europa League final win over
Freiburg. Morgan Rogers found the back of the net against Liverpool, and
Ollie Watkins scored against Manchester City.
MacPhee was a regular in the technical area for both attacking and defending
set pieces and was held in high regard by the club.
He has juggled his role at Villa with the assistant manager role with
Scotland and then more recently, the role of assistant manager with Portugal
at this summer's World Cup.
