Dario To Take On The Academy

Dario Gradi will take over the running of the academy next season as the management shake up continues.

The Technical Director will take on Steve Holland’s old job of Academy Director following Holland’s promotion to First Team Coach last year. Dario will still however be taking on sessions with the first team as well as turning his hand at goalkeeper coaching.

The move will allow Holland to concentrate even more on first team matters having been juggling the first team with his Academy Director’s job in the past twelve months.

Dario explained to superalex.net: ‘I will be doing a bit more with the senior players on an individual basis, particularly with the goalkeepers, and I will, more or less, take over Steve’s job at the Academy.

‘One of us needs to be there and be the one the kids are responding to.’
