Coaches Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi join Swansea

[Darrkespur]

Swansea just appointed Paul Clement as their new boss, but according to the news article on the Swansea website, he's taking two of our coaches for his backroom team.

"Joining Clement at the Liberty will be Nigel Gibbs as assistant coach and Karl Halabi as head of physical performance. Both make the move from Tottenham Hotspur. "
​

I have to admit, I'd not heard of either. What were their roles for spurs?

Nigel Gibbs was Assistant Head of Coach & Player Development but couldn't find Karl Halabi on the academy list probably was something scientific judging by his new role

I have no idea who they are either...

Halabi was u23 physical performance coach:

Good luck to them. I think they're going to need it

Actually their first league game is home against Arse. Maybe we're loaning them out for one game.

Go Nigel, go Nigel..Erm...

< scrolls up, scrolls back down >

Go Karl, Go Karl

CRISIS as Pochettino Loses Backroom Staff

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Did they leave because:

a) Poch refused to "look at himself in the mirror"
b) they were sick of Poch's insistence on "turgid" AVB football
c) they were sick of Poch failing to properly coach Dele so that he showed some "football intelligence"


Hey never let a thread go by without poking fun at some of the serially depressed on SC

Poch doesn't look in mirrors. Mirrors look at Poch. He just returns the compliment.

Do you know him then or were you stalking him at time?

Wedding crashing, baby..

No, I was a guest of a guest, can't even remember where it was in all honesty!

Since Nigel Gibbs was a youth coach with us, i'd imagine there might be a couple youth players we could loan them. He's obviously seen them first hand and would be great experience for our younger players to get some loan experience. Maybe KWP and Onomah to Swansea? What position do Swansea need strengthening in?

What position do Swansea need strengthening in?

Every position!
