Pressman, the former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper, left his Millwall post at the end of last season.
Kevin Pressman says he interviewed to replace Nicky Weaver as Sheffield Wednesday’s academy goalkeeper coach.
Weaver was promoted to a senior role after Andy Rhodes left to become Oldham Athletic’s assistant manager, and Pressman, for whom many Owls fans called as Rhodes’ successor, was keen to step in after his Millwall exit at the end of last season.
But Wednesday ultimately chose Tommy Lee, the former Chesterfield goalkeeper, ahead of the 50-year-old who spent more than a decade as number one at Hillsborough.
Asked about a return to the club he also grew up supporting, Pressman – who was back at Sheffield Wednesday’s Middlewood Road training ground as a spectator on Tuesday – wrote on Twitter:
Lee’s appointment was announced by Wednesday on Friday afternoon and, true to character, it took Pressman just 15 minutes to congratulate the 32-year-old on Twitter, posting:
Weaver and Lee were on opposing sides as Sheffield Wednesday beat Chesterfield on penalties in the Football League Trophy eight years ago.
Weaver scored was proved to be the winning penalty in that second round tie at Hillsborough, directly before Lee missed.
Should Wednesday have brought back the former Millwall coach?
