He's only been in Office at Hibs for three months but Lee Johnson’s offbeat management style has already singled him out as a bit different.
Whether it’s hiring a sniper to motivate his players to shoot up the table or bringing in the Red Arrows to get them flying, the Easter Road boss will stop at nothing in his pursuit of excellence. In his own words he can look “a bit David Brent” at times. To be clear, the 41-year-old is referring to an app he has developed himself which details and documents his ever-evolving ideas and understanding of the game.
This is what Johnson likens - tongue in cheek - to Brent. But unlike the fictional TV character, he is deadly serious about what he believes can be gained from his ideology. From pitting his wits against tactical masterminds including Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and - his favourite - Marcelo Bielsa - Johnson admits he is a sponge when it comes to picking up ideas on the beautiful game.
