Former assistant coach to Unai Emery, Michael Carrick to lead Bayern Munich into massive UCL semifinal vs PSG

There’s no clear hierarchy among Vincent Kompany’s assistants. Officially, the Belgian doesn’t have a clear number one assistant coach. Each of the four has their own responsibilities, without any hierarchy: Aaron Danks focuses heavily on set pieces. Floribert N’Galula has been by Kompany’s side his entire coaching career and is particularly involved in training. René Marić is primarily the tactical mastermind. Daniel Fradley recently joined from Manchester City as chief analyst.

Nevertheless, it’s likely that Danks will take charge on the sidelines in Paris. He’s currently always the one giving the instructions from the sidelines during set pieces. Danks has already been interim manager for two games at Aston Villa, where he was also an assistant to Unai Emery and Steven Gerrard, as well as to Michael Carrick at Middlesbrough and, at Anderlecht, to Kompany. Well, good luck to Danks and do not be surprised if Bayern nets a set piece in the game. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
