New Aberdeen manager, Jimmy Thelin, is not alone in his mission to bring glory back to the club. His assistants, Emir Bajrami and Christer Persson, have been instrumental in the team’s success so far. Thelin emphasizes the importance of their roles in understanding and implementing his vision for the team.
Both Bajrami and Persson come from successful coaching backgrounds in Sweden, having worked with Thelin at former club Elfsborg. Thelin credits their understanding of his methods and principles as a key factor in Aberdeen’s impressive start to the season. The team is currently level on points with Celtic at the top of the table and has opened up a significant lead over Rangers.
Bajrami, a former Swedish international, brings his experience as a player and coach to the team. He has a proven track record of success, having been part of two Allsvenskan runners-up finishes with Thelin at Elfsborg. Persson, on the other hand, has a background in defense and has helped organize the backline to great effect.
Thelin, Bajrami, and Persson work closely with the players to identify areas for improvement and tailor individual training programs. Thelin emphasizes the importance of player development in building a strong team. The coaching staff collaborates to ensure that each player receives the attention and support they need to excel on the field.
In addition to Bajrami and Persson, Thelin also values the contributions of assistant first team coach Peter Leven and goalkeeping coach Craig Hinchliffe. Leven’s leadership during a previous unbeaten run and Hinchliffe’s expertise in goalkeeping have been crucial to the team’s success.
Thelin’s coaching philosophy focuses on creating a cohesive playing style that connects defense and attack seamlessly. While each coach may specialize in different aspects of the game, they all work together to ensure that the team plays as a unified unit. Thelin emphasizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration in achieving success on the field.
As Aberdeen continues its impressive run in the Premiership, Thelin, Bajrami, Persson, and the rest of the coaching staff remain committed to elevating the team to new heights. Their collective experience and expertise have laid the foundation for a successful season ahead.
