Some of these top teams have hired coaches who have achieved success in the past. For example, Nicolas Jover was a key part of Brentford's success before moving to Arsenal, where he works closely with manager Mikel Arteta. The new set-piece coach at Fulham will be expected to have a similar level of expertise and experience.

The job posting on Fulham's website specifies that the ideal candidate should have a UEFA A Licence and be able to work closely with the head coach and other members of the first-team coaching staff. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing set-piece strategies that align with the club's overall tactical approach.

The club is looking for someone with high levels of tactical and technical knowledge, as well as the ability to analyze opposition set-piece strategies and contribute to the team's performance and results. By hiring a set-piece coach, Fulham hopes to gain an advantage in the league and potentially qualify for European competition.

If Fulham can add 10 points to their tally from last season, they may be able to move up the rankings and challenge for a European spot. This would be a significant improvement, potentially allowing them to finish above Brighton in 8th place and within reach of Nottingham Forest's 7th-place finish.
