Gary is joined by former Tottenham Hotspurs defender and professional coach, Dean Austin, to discuss the relationship between head coach and assistant. Dean has worked in both roles in the professional game, as head coach at Northampton Town, and then as an assistant coach with Crystal Palace and most recently with Quique Flores at Watford. Dean kicked off the interview from a head coach perspective. How does he hire an assistant coach? What does he look for? How does he build that relationship? He then looks at the perspective of an assistant coach in how they can deal with certain scenarios, as well as how young coaches can help put themselves in potential opportunities in the future.
