The Crystal Palace Academy are pleased to have recruited three new additions to its team for the upcoming season, including new Head of Coaching Dean Wilkins, the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager.
Academy Director Gary Issott expressed his pride and satisfaction with the appointments, saying on Wilkins:
"Dean brings us massive experience with what he's done in the game. He's been an assistant manager in the Premier League, he's been a manager at Brighton & Hove Albion. The experience he's going to pass on to the coaches is going to be invaluable. That's what his role is going to be: to try and implement the club's playing style and philosophy and allow the coaches to implement that into our play.
