Sheffield Wednesday coach Chris Powell has explained what he will bring to the club.
The 54-year-old joined the club last month as part of Danny Rohl’s backroom staff.
The former England international brings a wealth of experience to the club, after previous management spells at Charlton Athletic, Huddersfield Town and Southend United.
It came as a huge coup for the German when joined the club.
Powell on what he can bring to Wednesday
Speaking to the Sheffield Star, Powell has opened up on what he can bring to the first team at Wednesday.
“I’ve been an assistant, at Derby and in Holland, and I’ve been in the academy at Spurs. I just like football, I like to develop people – whether that be players or coaches – and help them improve. I like to lend my experience, create a good environment and look out for people.
“I love the game. Some people were built to be managers, but I don’t think that’s for me anymore. It’s highly unlikely. I suppose now I don’t really enjoy that side of things, but what I’d like to do with somebody like Danny is be a person that knows the environment.
“Coaching skills are transferable, regardless of the country, and I’ve seen that with Danny and his staff, but quite clearly sometimes you need an understanding of more – of position, of tradition, what players may or may not like. We’re trying to build a tighter ship, and I think we’re getting that.”
More positive times ahead for Wednesday
These are certainly more positive times for Wednesday fans.
Whilst off the pitch there have been plenty of problems in recent weeks surrounding owner Dejphon Chansiri, on the pitch there does seem to be an improvement.
Powell, Rohl and all the other coaches lead Wednesday to their first win of the season under 2 weeks ago against Yorkshire rivals and fellow strugglers Rotherham United.
Powell will certainly be hoping for more of those types of results, continuing when they host Millwall on Saturday afternoon.
