According to report:
[quote] Although a cut-down version of the training tool is available on iTunes – as Globall Coach Lite – the expanded edition is an incredibly powerful way to help with training schedules, record match statistics and illustrate to players – professional or otherwise – the patterns and tactics managers and coaches want them to utilise. It brings traditional methods bang up to date, using the iPad as a tool to help improve a club’s training and match analysis behind the scenes, and potentially on the field.[/quote]

In an interview with Pocket Lint, Benitez stated, “The other thing is that I have been at a lot of top sides and they have a lot of foreign players, sometimes it’s difficult to communicate. Liverpool had 14 nationalities. And, at other teams, I’ve seen a translator on the pitch explaining the exercises during the training sessions. With this you can show them the exercises yourself.”
Globall Coach Lite is available on iPad to download now from iTunes for £4.99. The Premier version of Globall Coach, with much more control for professionals in the football business costs £50, and the Elite version for multiple coach set-ups costs £300.
