På Akademiet har vi det seneste år haft markant fokus indenfor individuel udvikling i bestræbelserne på endnu stærkere transition af spillere til Young AC Horsens (U19) og førsteholdet – hvilket sammenlagt med kvalitetssikring af fodboldtræning på banen bliver absolut kerneydelse for vores nye Head of Coaching.

·        Veluddannet med minimum UEFA A-licens – gerne A-Youth/PRO licens.

·        Behersker engelsk i tale og skrift.

·        Relevant lederuddannelse vil være en fordel.

Hovedopgaver i Head of Coaching-stillingen:

 ·       Observation og eksekvering af træning på banen.

·    Vedligeholdelse af klubbens spillestil og træningsmetodik, curriculum og periodisering.

·    Sikre faglig sammenhæng i hele spillerudviklingsprogrammet – herunder Talent ID og præstationsanalyse – i tæt samarbejde med specialister, segmentledere, akademitrænere og scouts.

·    Trupsammensætning i nært samarbejde med rekrutteringsafdelingen.
