Arsenal Bring In Throw-In Coach Thomas Gronnemark on Part-Time Consultancy

His Liverpool tenure saw throw-in retention surge from 18th to first, a model Arsenal hope to replicate.

Overview

  • Sky Sports reports the appointment is a consultancy rather than a full-time role, with recent training-ground sessions focused on long throws and structured throw-in routines.
  • Arsenal lead the Premier League for set-piece goals this season but are among five clubs without a throw-in goal since the start of last season.
  • During his time at Liverpool, possession from throw-ins under pressure improved from 45.4% to 68.4% as the club went on to win the Champions League and Premier League.
  • Brentford have scored nine goals from long throws since last season under Gronnemark’s guidance, while Arsenal have none in that period.
  • Gronnemark has previously said he would not rejoin Liverpool if already working with a direct Premier League competitor, a stance relevant to his current Arsenal work.
