Recently, the Post talked about Arsenal's new assistant coach Heinze, who is known for his strict management and can also bring the team a lack of victory mentality.
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Argentina national team left-back Heinz became the latest member of Arteta's coaching team, replacing Carlos Cuesta, who was poached by Serie A. Parma. Although Cuesta just signed a two-year new contract in April, Arsenal quickly made adjustments.
Compared to Cuesta, Heinz is known for his uncompromising, persistent and obsessed with victory. He was allegedly weighed players twice a day when the Newell Old Boy coached, in stark contrast to Cuesta, who is better at socializing and more affinity.
Arteta and Heinz have been good friends since Paris Saint-Germain, when Heinz and Pochettino had a profound influence on the young Arteta. Arteta once said: "Those two people have been by my side, supporting me and guiding me on how I should understand the game in my career, and they are a great encouragement to me." Heinz, 47, is a coach who has won many championships and has coached five teams, four of which are in Argentina, and one is Atlanta United in the Major League Soccer League. He also won league championships with Marseille, Manchester United and Real Madrid during his time.
While Arteta is a strict coach, Heinz may be better. He is the trusted confidant of the Arsenal coach and hopes that his arrival will bring the team the victory advantage they need.
Reporter Giuani Karduch said: "Arsenal will get a coach who loves work very much, and he will devote a lot of time to the team. He is very persistent, and it is a double-edged sword. He likes the team to control the ball, quickly grab the lost ball rights, and firmly believes in high-intensity games and one-on-one matches on the wing. His tactical formation is always 4-3-3."
Heinz is never afraid to defend himself. In the summer of 2007, he asked to join Liverpool because of losing his main position, but was rejected by Sir Ferguson. In the end, he failed to file a complaint through the Premier League court and then transferred to Real Madrid. He then played for Marseille and Rome, and returned to his parent team, Newell Old Boy, ending his 18-year career, playing 514 times in total, and making 72 appearances for the Argentine national team.
Heinz resigned due to a conflict with players and the media when coaching the old boy in Newell. Local sports journalist Ale Mangiatella said: "Heinz performed well in the early stages of the Newell Old Boy, but lacked offensive options in the later stages, and the team became predictable. He improved the player level, but then returned to the lower level. His personality may be the worst part, with poor media relations, and believed that all criticisms were attacks on individuals." Heinz's coaching style may be controversial, but for Arsenal, who has missed the Premier League title for 20 seasons, this determination and margin for victory may be exactly what they need.
