The close season in football is a time for rest and preparation for the upcoming season. It is a period where players and staff take a break, plan holidays, and make decisions about player retention and recruitment.
The close season also involves the departure and arrival of staff members, such as coaches, analysts, performance and medical personnel too. So theres plenty for the club to be getting on with - no longer closing down and the 'back in 2 months' on the door!
The medical team plays a crucial role in supporting injured players during the summer, ensuring they receive the necessary care and rehabilitation. The close season is a busy time for managers, who are constantly in contact with agents, players, and sporting directors to negotiate deals and make signings.
During the conversation, Gary and Dave discuss the challenges and experiences of managers and coaches during the close season. They talk about negotiating transfers, the importance of player meetings, and the planning and preparation for pre-season.
They also touch on the interactions between football professionals during holidays and the opportunities for additional learning and qualifications during the off-season.
