Alan McCormack is aiming for the “one per cents” after he was appointed as Luton’s first-team set-piece coach.

The former player, who won back-to-back promotions with the Hatters as a fan-favourite midfielder, rejoined the club as an academy coach in 2021 and then guided the Under-18s to EFL Youth Alliance South-East Division and Merit Youth League 1 title triumphs.

His promotion sees him take on the new role to help Town improve their set-piece ahead of their debut season in the Premier League. 

Currently in Slovenia with the first team for the pre-season training camp, McCormack said: “From the moment I had the conversation with the manager, I was in. I was looking over work and trying to find as much information as I can in key areas on where we are and where we can improve, and try to get as many one per cents out of people as I can.”

Boss Rob Edwards has spoken of the “respect” that the 42-year-old has within the club, and after speaking with him McCormack told the club’s website: “I had a conversation with the gaffer and he went through what he was thinking and how he wanted to go about the business and structure of it, and asked would I be interested in taking it on?

“It was an absolute no-brainer from the words coming out of his mouth, the decision was made. I think any young, aspiring coach that wants to get to a first-team level, to give them an opportunity in any capacity is something that they are going to take and hopefully they do take. I am very excited that I can take this on.

“The opportunity for me to be around a group of staff who are incredible human beings and unbelievable coaches is one I couldn’t pass up. The atmosphere and culture that’s about the club at the moment is such a high level.

“To be around them and learn from them, and then to have a responsibility with what I’ve been asked to do with the set pieces, is just an incredible feeling.”
