Sheffield Wednesday legend Kevin Pressman lands new job ahead of 2024/25 season
Sheffield Wednesday legend, Kevin Pressman, has found himself a new job for the 2024/25 season...
Pressman, who played almost 500 times for the Owls during a long career at Hillsborough, has worked at various different clubs since he hung up his gloves in 2009, and last summer he left Grantham Town a couple of years after being brought on board by former teammate, Carlton Palmer.
Now, with the new season just around the corner, it has been confirmed that he has taken on the role of goalkeeper and first team coach at Gainsborough Trinity, where he will work alongside their manager, Russ Wilcox, as the team look to improve upon last season’s finish in the PitchingIn Northern Premier League.
Wilcox spoke highly of ‘KP’ as he takes on his new job, saying, "I’m absolutely delighted to bring Kevin Pressman in to the club as goalkeeper coach/first team coach. He will also help me and Daniel Solts with the outfield work in training and on match days."
"KP coming to Gainsborough Trinity is a massive coup for the football club. He had an incredible career as a player, representing Sheffield Wednesday for 17 years, mainly in the Premiership - in total he made over 500 first team appearances. And his coaching career is just as impressive, holding a UEFA A coaching licence since 2007. His knowledge, experience and know-how to the work moving forward will be invaluable to everyone at the football club."
Pressman will be working closely with another former Owl at Gainsborough after Josh Render returned to the club for the upcoming campaign, and they’ll be hoping to make plenty of progress together as the season gets underway in a couple of months’ time.
