Developing a Guardiola Approach
One of the most popular coaching books in the world — a six-week deep dive into the Guardiola method.
"An idea without a plan is just a dream."
This book walks coaches through a complete six-week mesocycle in the Guardiola style — providing more session detail than any book before it, while exposing the myths around positional play and showing how to develop it practically with your players.
Six-Week Mesocycle
A Complete Six-Week Training Block in the Guardiola Style
The book is structured around a six-week mesocycle — showing coaches exactly what sessions might be delivered within this specific block, and how to build a positional, possession-based training programme over time.
Positional Play
Keeping Possession & Attacking Through Positional Dominance
In-depth sessions that develop how to keep possession and attack through positional dominance — exposing the myths around positional play and providing coaches with the practical tools to develop it with their players.
Defending
How Guardiola's Teams Defend — With & Without the Ball
The book provides great detail on how to successfully defend within a Guardiola-like game model — showing how positional dominance allows his teams to be effective both in and out of possession, and how coaches can replicate this with their own squads.
Who it's for: Coaches inspired by Guardiola's positional approach · Those who want a structured, periodised training plan · Coaches working with players aged 12 and above

Really impressive quality. Great raad

I’m a huge fan of TheFootballCoach and the content I receive in my books and the online stuff I read. Information is easy to get online, quality information is very difficult online. This is the perfect example of professional and meaningful content. The structure of the books is simple, and allows for an effective workflow when delivering coaching sessions

Good read. Would recommend
Rosse M. 5/5 Verified
Great for any new or experienced coach. For me I enjoy the sessions in these books as I like to use them with my players. I’m not always a huge reader of the theoretical information, but that is just my preference. I often leave this in my car, and review the practices before I go out to deliver my session

Enjoyable. Book is well made and surprised by the thickness of the book

Very detailed probably more focused towards academy level and senior teams .. however there are some great principles and insights that all levels of football coaching could encompass.. I would recommend this to coaches wishing to improve their knowledge and insight o help their players and teams reach their potential

Enjoyed the idea of including transition into finishing. It's a trade of for me in realism and repetition. But this does provide an interesting though behind using Xg as an approach to creating practice

Most of it is pretty good. Formatting seems off with a lot of repeated paragraphs. Starts of really well in how it’s presented and the depth they go into and then seems to drop off.

Keeping Players Engaged The repetitive nature of training can sometimes lead to a dip in player engagement. "50+ Sessions from Professional Football Clubs" effectively combats this by offering a constant stream of fresh ideas. By incorporating these drills alongside exercises from other Thefootballcoach titles, I can keep my players challenged, motivated, and eager to learn.
