Newcastle United are set to appoint Martin Mark as their new set piece coach for the 2025-26 season, according to The Athletic.
The Magpies have been tracking the 31-year-old for some time after his impressive work at FC Midtjylland.
Mark initially served as a youth coach at the Danish club before becoming their head of set pieces in 2022. Assistant manager Jason Tindall is currently in charge of set pieces at Newcastle, but the club want to hire a specialist coach.
They have reportedly considered several candidates for the role in recent months and have now decided to hire Mark’s services.
The Tyneside club added James Bunce as performance director last summer following his 17-year career in professional sport across clubs, leagues and federations.
Newcastle enjoyed their best campaign in the modern era by winning their first major domestic trophy in 70 years and also qualifying for the Champions League in 2024-25.
Only six Premier League clubs scored more from dead-ball scenarios than Newcastle last term, while only three sides conceded fewer from set-pieces than their eight goals.
But despite being impressive in dead-ball situations, they are appointing Mark, which shows their intent to further improve in this department.
