Former Bristol City and Sunderland manager Lee Johnson was named as Hibernian manager in May 2022.

In this session delivered exclusively for CV Academy, Johnson works on a team’s ability to retain possession but then react aggressively and effectively in the moment of defensive transition.

The session is comprised of two practices. The first is a transition-themed small-sided game with conditions to emphasise aggressive defending and attacking transitions. The second is a two-half possession/transition game led by Johnson’s assistant, Jamie McAllister.
