Blues boss Paul Jewell was in Cardiff over the weekend as one of the guest speakers at the Football Association of Wales and Welsh Football Trust’s National Coaching Conference.

On Saturday, Jewell, who had recently returned from his holiday, ran a practical coaching session entitled ‘Roles and Responsibility of a Back Four with Inclusion of Midfield Screens’ held at the Cardiff City Academy.

Amongst the other guest speakers at the three-day conference were Wales manager Chris Coleman, Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson, Port Vale manager Micky Adams and his first team coach Robert Page, and Crystal Palace assistant boss Lennie Lawrence.

More than 120 elite coaches attended the conference which was run by Welsh Football Trust’s technical department.

Technical director Osian Roberts was pleased with the quality and experience of the visiting coaches: “I’m delighted to have such a variety of highly qualified guest speakers delivering on elements of the youth and senior game.

“It’s fantastic for our Welsh-based coaches to continue to learn from coaches who have worked at a higher level and also to interact and share ideas with each other on the course.”

Blues boss Jewell previously gained his UEFA Pro Licence with the Football Association of Wales.
