Hey all, I was just wondering whether youth coaches are necessary I mean they take up staff spaces and wouldn't it make more sense to just bring in 1st team coaches that can train both 1st team and youths ?

Most teams(my team) are just fu*kers.
The board has recommended that you should not have more than 3 coaches.
I mean,what the f*ck they are expecting me to do with 3 coaches????????
so you are right,the idea with senior and youth coaches does not stand.
except you are managing Barcelona and have 100 players in first team and reserves

I just leave my Youth Coach to do his business, as the Youths are going to develop quick anyway under any regime!

I just get a coach for each discipline, then once the little boys come out of the youth team i put them with the big boys works for me anyway

@shimei great choice of team mate!

awesome, well i'll take note of that and try it out

thanks :-)

Hi Jorn,

The coaching constellation of course depends also to the budget that is given by your board, but this is not always the case.

In my save game, I normally sack the poor-attribute coaches and appoint couple of new coaches to the section where they are needed. The sacking thing can be done easier with the help of modifier tool by reducing the amount of year in their contract. In that way you don't have to pay massive compensation to your sacked coach. However, should you wish to play your game without any cheating tools this is not at all recommended! =)

In your case, you might have to sack some your youth team coaches to give some spaces for the new coach, be it first team coach or full coach. Leave some of your high-profile youth coaches up to 3 or 4 people. It depends on how important you think the youth training for you. If you think your fitness coach and goalkeeping coach are rubbish as well then do it the hard way: sack them all and get the new one with minimum attribute 17 in fitness and goalkeeping. At the end, you are going to have 1 fitness coach, 1 GK coach, 3-4 youth coaches, 1 assistant manager and 1 full coach.

Make sure you know characteristic of the coach you already have and what your team need at most. I always try to set my coach to each training section and see in which section they're good at. In that way, it is easier for you to look what type of first team coach or full coach you need for your training section.

Bare in mind, when I wrote 12 coaches, it doesn't mean that you can appoint up to 12 full coaches! It means that you can only appoint 3-4 coaches, 3 up to 5 first team coaches, 3-4 youth coaches, 1 GK coach, 1 fitness coach and 1 Assistant Manager. But as I mentioned above, the youth training regime does not always play significant role in increasing the young player attributes. So, I never pay too much attention to the youth training and only appoint maybe 2 to 3 youth coaches and concentrate more to the first team training.

Do I make any sense here?

you missed out my points there mate...

in your case, you might have to sack one of your GK coach (sack the rubbish one!) and another 4-5 youth coaches to spare some rooms for new coach. after if you already did that, your current coach should have: 1 GK coach, 1 fitness coach, 1 assistant manager, 3-4 youth coach and 1 full coach, right?

after the sacking, you might want to appoint from 3 up to 4 first team coach and another 2 to 3 full coach. Extend the board quota here, doesn't mean you can hire 9 full coach or first team coach before you free some room and sacking your current youth coach. You MUST free (or in this case, sack!) some of your rubbish youth coach and the GK coach too before you can appoint another first team coach or full coach... in that way you have some rooms to appoint new coach in your squad..

hope this helps..

hey what the f*ck is this??
what is wrong man? calm down,we do not need this.
both of you,forum is not for this.

he probably posted in a wrong thread.

i'm sorry all... i still learn and love this game

What on earth are you on about? I said that to another member, who is now fine in my opinion. I over-reacted before with micah.

But dude, that was not directed at you, and I find it quite amusing you took it that way to be honest.
