Everton under-21s manager Paul Tait has described what he feels should be the identity of his side and discussed the importance of individual development plans for each player.
The former under-18s boss was promoted during the summer following the exit of David Unsworth as under-23s manager towards the end of the 2021/22 campaign. His move left a vacancy for Blues hero Leighton Baines to step into as the U18s coach.
High on the agenda for Tait as he prepares to take on the mantle as U21 manager has been to create an identity for his players to live up to. And, speaking to evertonfc.com on Wednesday, he explained what he wants his players to show in and out of possession over the course of the coming campaign.
