Synopsis

Once seen mainly as wide defenders, full-backs have become some of the most tactically important players in modern football. They overlap, underlap, invert into midfield, press high, recover deep, create chances, protect against counter-attacks, and reshape the team around them.

The Full-Back Revolution: Overlaps, Inverted Roles, and the Position That Changed Football tells the story of how the role changed from a defensive position on the edge of the pitch into one of football’s most demanding and influential jobs. Written in clear, plain English, this book explains the rise of attacking full-backs, wing-backs, inverted roles, wide partnerships, pressing systems, rest defence, scouting, coaching, and the tactical cultures that shaped the position.

For football supporters, coaches, players, and students of tactics, this is a detailed but accessible guide to the position that quietly moved from the touchline to the centre of the modern game.
