AdminTom Weal has steadily established himself as one of the most highly regarded goalkeeping coaches in English football, earning praise for the work he has carried out behind the scenes at every club he has served.
His reputation first gathered momentum during his spell at Norwich City, where his coaching methods and ability to improve goalkeepers caught the attention of players and staff alike.
That progress eventually opened the door to a move to Sunderland, where he has continued to impress with his attention to detail and calm approach on the training ground.
Weal has become known for developing goalkeepers both technically and mentally, helping them raise their performances while creating a positive working environment. Those qualities have not gone unnoticed across the game.
It now appears Russell Martin is another admirer of the highly-rated coach. The Leicester City head coach is understood to be keen on bringing Weal into his backroom team as he continues to shape his coaching staff ahead of the new campaign.
Martin has wasted little time identifying the people he believes can help deliver his footballing philosophy, and Weal’s growing reputation makes him an obvious target.
His experience at both Norwich and Sunderland has strengthened his credentials, while his ability to build strong relationships with players could prove invaluable.
Should a deal be agreed, Leicester would be adding one of England’s most promising goalkeeping coaches to Martin’s ambitious new-look coaching staff.
