Jordan McCann left Blackburn Rovers after two years to join Arsenal as Academy Full-Time Model Lead and Technical Coach.
The role’s responsibilities include delivering Arsenal’s “full-time training model coaching remit” and leading the coaching programme for all players enrolled in full-time schooling at the club. The tasks will include “delivering and developing performance pathways and plans” or “creating an optimum environment for players to develop and grow.”
This will be supported by Arsenal’s four pillars, which aim to develop effective team players, lifelong learners, and the most efficient movers with a champion mindset.
McCann joined Blackburn as Head of Academy Coaching in October 2022, having previously worked as Academy Manager at Lincoln City for three and a half years. He had previously served as Head of Academy Coaching at Luton Town for nine years.
His successor as Head of Coaching at Category One Blackburn Rovers is John Prince, who takes over from Senior Youth Development Coach. Prince joined Rovers in May 2021 from Preston, having previously worked at Burnley.
