Arsène Wenger is perceived by some as the trailblazer who introduced continental European methods to England.
His emphasis on nutrition and improved training techniques at Arsenal, starting in 1996, is often credited with raising the bar.
It was a similar story with Pete Edwards at Nottingham Forest. Just think about it—how could a team that had only just been promoted to the Premier League suddenly trail just behind Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United the following season?
But Nottingham Forest did it.
In 1993–94, they were newly promoted, and in 1994–95, they finished third. No other newly promoted club has achieved such a high finish in the Premier League era.
So how did Forest manage to pull it off?
The answer lies with Pete Edwards, Nottingham Forest's Head of Performance.
