Pittodrie boss Stephen Glass insists assistant Allan Russell’s work with England at Euro 2020 will not impact Aberdeen, even if he misses the start of pre-season training. As striker coach to the England squad Russell will work with centre–forwards including Harry Kane (Tottenham), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) and Marcus Rashford (Manchester City). ‘It might touch the start of pre-season but it won’t interfere with his Aberdeen work here. Under the guidance of Russell, who also runs ‘Superior Striker’ coaching, England excelled at set-pieces in the World Cup. In 2018 England set a new record for the most set-piece goals by a club, nine, at a World Cup.
