“All I can,” the coach emotionally promises Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper and Alan Tate were coworkers at Swansea City before they were reunited at the City Ground.
Speaking on his return to manager Steve Cooper at Nottingham Forest after leaving Swansea City, Alan Tate promised to try “all I can” to support the team’s success.
Cooper assembled a new coaching staff and took over as Reds head coach last month after Chris Hughton was fired.
Tate, who had previously worked with him as an assistant coach in south Wales, followed him to the City Ground.
With over 250 league matches under his belt and multiple Championship play-off finishes with Swansea, the 39-year-old is revered as an institution there alongside Cooper in the dugout.
Tate was briefly handed responsibility for overseeing the team’s loan players after Cooper left the Swans and Russell Martin joined, but he left for Forest a few days later.
“After I retired, I was offered the chance and duty to begin coaching our young players in the academy. I approached this task with the same seriousness as when I played for the team, wanting to provide as many of our local and.
The opportunity to perform in front of you and have an experience that words cannot express for players from out of town, like myself.
“I was offered the opportunity to return to the first team as a coach after four years in the academy. This was once again a huge honour for me because it meant having the chance to help this club perform in front of you and have an influence on winning games at the first team level, which is the most amazing feeling at the end of the game when the stadium speakers play “it’s a beautiful day.”
