Popular Post SallyCinnamon Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 New Assistant Manager. Tony Pulis has added to his backroom staff with former Bournemouth coach Mike Trusson joining the Owls as assistant manager. The vastly experienced 61-year-old amassed over 400 professional appearances as a player between 1976 and 1996, beginning his career with Plymouth. Trusson also represented Brighton, Rotherham, Sheffield United and Gillingham before a stint with Hong Kong-based side Sing Tao. He finished his professional career with Bournemouth before moving into a number of off-field roles after hanging up his boots. The former midfielder has worked with new Owls boss Pulis on a number of occasions, most recently with West Brom. Having gained years of experience in coaching and scouting at the very top of the game, Trusson is looking forward to reuniting with Pulis in S6. Trusson said: “I’m delighted and massively looking forward to it, it’s a great challenge. “I’ve known Tony for a long time, we played against each other as players and got to know each other through kicking each other really! “We both moved to Gillingham at the same time, then Tony went to be assistant at Bournemouth and eventually became manager when Harry Redknapp left. Then he asked me to come over and I became youth coach and then first team coach at Bournemouth. “I’ve worked for him as a scout at pretty much every club he’s been at, then I got the call asking if I wanted to be assistant manager at Sheffield Wednesday. It’s a great club and I’m really looking forward to it." Trusson stated his excitement for the opportunity as his reason for moving to Hillsborough and cannot wait to get started. He added: “I was working as a European scout for Celtic and I was enjoying that but when you get this opportunity at such a great, historical club like Sheffield Wednesday, it was a no-brainer. “The one thing that strikes me is there’s a lot of quality in the squad. Our challenge is to bring that quality out, make the players better and start getting results.” https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2020/november/mike-trusson-joins-owls-coaching-team/ 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another positive Pullis point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post agentwalker Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 I know its early days, but this is exactly what an experienced manager brings. contacts and staff who have been around and made contacts in the game. This is what Bruce brought in as well. hopefully Pulis comes good. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmb Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Good to get some experience in and around the club. Pulis obviously trusts him. You would imagine he has decent contacts with spending time in scouting/recruitment. Nicely balances out the Craig Gardner appointment. Doubt he will be the last new face to arrive either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much experience in football is a good thing and will demand more respect from the players. We saw it with Bruce - he was the only one post-Carlos who got the drama queens singing from the same hymn sheet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Strange he’s always been a scout but now an assistant manager. Wish him well. Nice for Pulis to get his people in. Hopefully a few more to follow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
