Strength and Conditioning Coach Mukandi Moves to Bournemouth Friday, 4th Jul 2025 19:30 Town’s head of strength and conditioning Ivan Mukandi has left the club and has been appointed head of performance and medicine at AFC Bournemouth’s academy.
Mukandi joined the Blues in the summer of 2021 having previously been with Arsenal’s academy for seven years.
The 31-year-old is the fourth member of the Town backroom staff to move on this summer, first-team coach Lee Grant having left to take over as manager at Huddersfield, head of analysis Jamie Osman to set up an analysis consultancy and assistant goalkeeper-coach David Martin, who has effectively been replaced by David Button, who signed on a player-coach basis earlier today.

I know nothing about this fellow or what his role entails in today's game, so I am relying on others to ut me straight. Looking at our injury record last season and the way many of put players were pushed aside by the opposition, how good was this guy? Will he be a loss? Anyway I'm sure he did his best and I wish him well in his new role. |  | |

Why do I see people leaving regularly now , soon as you are relegated they seem to flea the sinking ship , let’s hope we dont do a Luton , better start signing some players . How come derby are signing a so called striker we were linked with , god help us if they have more pulling power than us , strange . |  | |

We will soon see if MA is serious with getting quality or is just talking cock. I won't be surprised if no one signs until the last week of the window then desperation time comes and we sign a couple from the lower leagues or loan a reject. Ahadme, Camara, Godfrey anyone? |  | |

No signings as yet! Why? There may be a very good reason, whatever that reason is, the fans are obviously not party to that reasoning. Some of our Championship rivals are strengthening, while it appears we are sitting on our hands. Just recently a local rag reported that we have a very good squad and that’s why the bookies have us as favourites to go up. They obviously missed the fact that we are desperately short in midfield and Delap hasn’t been replaced. Assuming the Agyemang interest was genuine, then no less than Derby ( almost relegated to division one last season) have just out-bid us with a 5m plus deal. So, I think we have good reason to ask…. What’s going on? |  | |

I kind feel similar to @berholtblue in the fact that we had so many injuries last season. |  | |

@GHS71 and @poet. You need to have a word with yourselves. Panicking when the window is only just opened. Behave. We will add in midfield and we've only sold 1 player! If we keep the rest it's a great result! |  | |

“Behave” Someone’s head seems to be ensconced up a part of someone’s anatomy. When you come out for a breather, take a good look at some facts. |  | |

@poet. I think you need to go and support Liverpool or man city. |  | |
