Bristol City have added Ben King to their coaching staff as a specialist for set plays. The new coach will concentrate on instructing players and studying all dead-ball scenarios for the senior squad.
King brings knowledge from a previous position at Sheffield Wednesday, where he served as an analyst focused on set pieces. His career history also features a leadership role in coaching at Accrington Stanley and time spent coaching a youth team at Walsall.
First-team head coach Michael Skubala expressed his support for the hiring. He stated that King's contributions would benefit the squad's offensive and defensive efforts and that he would collaborate with the current set-piece coaches Pat Mountain and Luke Morgan. King shared his enthusiasm about the new role and his anticipation of cooperating with the team and its staff.
This appointment is part of the club's effort to reinforce a notable advantage. This season in the Championship, they share the highest number of goals scored from set plays, with the majority of their league goals originating from these situations. The team's recent form includes consecutive wins.
King will begin working with the other coaches right away as the team gets ready for their upcoming league match away to Charlton. Supporters can find the complete list of future games on the club's fixtures page and review the table on the standings page.
