I can't recall the exact number but I think it was something ridiculous like he had 4000 set piece options available for the Euro Cup for Italy.
Goals are so hard to come by in all sports nowadays that you need to have any competitive advantage you can.

4830 lol
The athletic had a piece in him last year and looking at some of the set pieces he did at euros
I agree I think it will be the norm soon
Just think of it financially, assume a coach is even just a few hundred thousand dollars
A goal in the league is worth way more than that to these clubs, it's a drop in the bucket, so even if a set piece cosch only adds 2 or 3 goals a year, it's a steal
