Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has praised Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, claiming that the Gunners may struggle to retain him as he is destined for a managerial role within the next three years.
Since Jover’s arrival from Manchester City in 2021, Arsenal have transformed into a formidable set-piece threat, and Ferdinand believes Jover’s influence has been crucial to their success.
Arsenal’s prowess from set pieces was evident in their recent North London derby victory, where the winning goal came from a well-executed set piece. Under Jover’s guidance, the Gunners have improved both offensively and defensively. Last season, Arsenal boasted the best defensive record in the Premier League and conceded only one goal in their first four games of the current season.
