And Solly March was among those getting stuck into a session of work with the Albion squad at Lancing.
Thoughts are turning towards Saturday’s home game with Everton as the Seagulls look to improve a recent record of one win from ten league outings.
Pictures taken by Albion photographer Paul Hazlewood and released by the club showed Coppola, Tommy Watson and Andrew Moran among the players involved in what looked a lively session.

Coppola’s path to a loan and potential playing time ahead of the World Cup qualifying play-offs has now been opened by the return to the club of Igor Julio.
The Italian has always been praised by head coach Fabian Hurzeler for training diligently despite the lack of Premier League minutes and Tuesday’s work-out looked no exception on the evidence provided.
Paris FC is thought to be the most likely destination for the former Verona man until the end of the season.
Watson, for whom a loan has not been ruled out, also looked to be working well.
Hurzeler recently said the former Sunderland winger needs to put in full weeks of training if he is to stake a claim for a place in his matchday squad. He has been troubled by injury.
Moran returned from loan at Los Angeles when the MLS season ended before Christmas and continues to work with the Albion squad.
Several younger players could be seen with the group, including Caylan Vickers, who was recalled from loan at Barnsley.
Meanwhile March could be seen getting involved in the match-type scenarios and, in one picture, taking on left-back Max De Cuyper.
Hurzeler has been pleased to see the right-winger back with the group but is not putting a timescale on his return on this occasion.
