Goalkeeping Coach
Again these coaches have to work on both GK handling and GK Shot Stopping which you should assign both of your coaches to one of each to get the best out of the keepers. In terms of training, I feel that you can near max out their training schedules because they rarely loose much energy in a match.

Fantastic post, really helpfull in an area that most people just ignore.
I always sort my staff out as soon as I join a club its the first thing I do so will use aspects of this to get the most out of my staff.
Really well done!

Nice post, another factor I consider when looking for staff is their scouting knowledge as they can recommend players from parts of the world where I can´t send my scouts and increase the clubs scouting knowledge.

Does reputation matters much?
Say, I found a «regional» staff who has better attributes than a «national» staff… I used to go for the better reputation one, unless the difference of their attributes is too significant. Don’t know if that makes a difference though.
Thank you for the info and the list.
Excessive
6 марта, 2011 at 12:59
Reputation has no affect whatsoever so I have been told, so go for the stats :).
Apparently it’s just included so staff can have a status that they can work on increasing. Used to think it would have more affect on the players like you.
Thanks for adding that :)
JC
7 марта, 2011 at 11:30
Good. Thank you for that.
Then, I’ll go for some «local» and «regional» guys or even «unproven». Don’t know how much money I’ve wasted… on hiring staff with higher reputations.

TQ kindly for the huge post, both in number of pages and importance. I’m sure many people dismiss the importance of the above. I myself every two months look at the available candidates, as my reputation changes upwards rapidly and it is important to get the best possible coaches.
The thing that bugs me the most, and I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this. Which is better, giving 4-5 games to the youngsters in your own team, or sending them to the feeder club, where they would play every game of the season, but their facilities are rubbish and they won’t get good training.
How to look at the trade-off? (I have only semi-professional feeder club, with very, very, very poor youth training facilities and coaches, not even to mention…..)…
Thanks guys to whoever can share their experiences….

I prefer to keep the youngsters in my team but those who can’t get too many chances to play are sent on loans to other teams which will also pay their wages, I don’t have a feeder club.
Mariano
6 марта, 2011 at 19:12
Me too, if my youngsters are good enough to play as first team or rotation players they stay, if not they go out on loan as that increases their value and if I need the money they can be sold, they are a good «commodity» as a way to earn money to grow thew club. I just sold a couple for 10M that where bought for less than 2M and I havent reach the Premier league:)
Anyway, in my experience the thing that I give priority when loaning a player out is to reveive an offer from a club that wants the player as a first team.
Cheers
Excessive
7 марта, 2011 at 08:55
Firstly thanks OP :)
Yeah, I mean there are different aspects that will affect my choices.
You have to know which youngsters can potentially make it at your club and those who can’t. For me I try and offload the deadwood as soon as possible so as to free up the training for the first team.
Once you have your fringe youngsters you can decide from there. The best of the best act as rotation first team members or reserve players and the rest go on the loan list. These players I just see as those who I can gain value on unless they prove their worth.
Hope that helps

I always wonder if I should let my young players on loan. Of course, they may get more chances to play, but on the other hand, I’ve a better training schedule, facilities and coaches here. So, they improve by gaining match experience but they also improve by having some good training.
Therefore, I only let my players who’s over 21 or something out on loan. Other promising boys under 21 will stay and train hard. Those who’re never going to make the 1st team will go on loan at feeder clubs.
Not sure it’s good this way. Any suggestions?
Excessive
8 марта, 2011 at 08:29
The way I look at it is that generally you will only get 2-3 youngsters a year which are good enough for the first team which should be promoted to the first team.
Then the other 2-3 lesser youngsters should be shipped out on loan predominantly for them to gain value so you can sell them on. As these are not going to be used for your first squad, don’t worry about their training facilities and potential at other clubs.
All the others should be sold as it has an affect on your training, and therefore an affect on the first team and youngsters progress who actually have potential!
Your over 21 rule seems to make sense though, making sure the youngsters get the best development. Id stick with that :).
That’s the way I see it anyway :)

Excessive

Some of them arent default staff so you have to load the leagues of their nationalities.
So for Filho, you will have to load the Brazilian league if you want to get him.
Hope that helps :)

Some other tips (spelling may be wrong):
— GK:
Abate 4,5* (Italian)
Basigulap 4,5* (San Marino)
— Defending:
Narcisio 4,5* (Brasil)
— Attacking:
Chico? Fraga 4* (Brasil)
All of them are pretty good (13+) at youth develompent too.
And Filho is just awesome, however, as attacking coach he has a 4* rating at may game?
3 good general coaches with some youth management, I have them as assistent coaches to the 9 specific ones (yeah, Malaga allows me to use 13 coaches!). They’re pretty good, even though I’m using them as «assistents» to lower the workload originally:
— Tous (Spain) — Attacking, Shooting
— Bonini (Argentina) — Strength, aerobic, defense
— Carlos? Luiz (Brasil) — Tactics, Ball Controll
Works great so far, and I just tried my first individual training schedules. So far it looks good (have no comparison thought, but the development is steady and positive and the attributes of my young players (nearly a U23 squad lol) rarely decrease.

Thats a pretty good setup you have there for Malaga mate! Will surely do you good in the long run ;)
Ill give you my setup for my Man City save, might help you get some better lads in?
——-
AssMan: Mauro Tassotti
GK: Fernando Resende, Harald Schumacher, Fernando Moraes
Fitness: Jose Mario Campeiz, Paul Winsper, Omar Feitosa, Darlan Schneider
Tactics: Bernhard Peters
Attacking: Antony de Avila, Kevin Ball
Defending: Mauro Tassotti (AssMan)
Ball Control: Franco Baldini
Shooting: Eugenio Carlos de Souza

Did have Filho (who is frankly the best Coach on the game..) but Blackburn managed to snatch him away?!
Ceolin does all my scout reports too, you should have no problems there ;)

Thx!
I had no problem with the staff, originally just wanted to share some other options, especially good alround coaches who would be great for assistence. But thx for your recommendations, some I had in mind too but they didn’t join.
Only played FM10 for a month, my first real challenge is with Malaga in FM2011, else I’m a noob (but much into football in general).
The first thing I did was kick out all the useless staff guys and get some good one in (i even calculated manually :-P ).
Every training cathegory aside Attacking is at least 4,5*, and this pretty much from the beginning.
My whole staff as it is (I’m pretty stubborn with board request for staff, and got lucky as hell!). In space my Assman for GK and assistence coaches.
AssMan: Cousillas
GK: Basigalup, Abate, Xabier, (Cousillas)
Fitness: Feitosa, Bisciotti, (Bonini)
Tactics: Omar Feitosa, (Luiz Carlos)
Attacking: Chico Fraga, (Julio Tous)
Defending: Narcisio, (Bonini)
Ball Control: Filho, (Luiz Carlos)
Shooting: Alexandre Grassell, (Julio Tous)
To be honest, I haven’t seen a screenhot of a nicer coaching staff in the net so far. Still the 4* attacking coach kills the beauty of this. :-D
Got third in the first season and now I’m leading 1 point in front of Barça (Real already 7pts back) after 27 games, lost both games to them, but played 1 draw and 1 win vs. Real and won EVERY other game in LaLiga so far! :-O
I still need major advice in some things, maybe I’ll open a thread or so in the future with some screens. :-)

Here’s my staff in 2015. All are 4.5/5* (only fitness and GKing at 5* it appears to be very hard to find other coaches at that level). A number of them are listed above and I found them without using this guide, which shows if you use a filtered search on the staff search screen you’ll find the best coaches out there.
Strength + Aerobic — Carlo Nicolini and Peter Davidson — Both 5*
GK Shotstopping — Pedro Jara — 5*
GK Handling — Juan Jose Lasuen — 4.5*
Defending — Martin Keown — 4.5* (Also my assistant manager, has excellent mental stats and should stop Arsenal poaching him)
Attacking — Andrew Cole — 4.5*
Shooting Hernan Crespo — 4.5*
Tactics — David Bowman — 4.5*
Ball Control — Tommy Martin — 4.5*
All are normal coaches so the youth players benefit form them as well. I don’t really see the point of first team coaches, its hard enough getting all these guys, only allowing them to coach the main squad and having to do it all again for the YT seems pretty pointless.
The «famous» ex-players in that list are a bit pricey when it comes to wages but assuming you are a managing a club that can be expected to have a 4.5/5* coaching stable they aren’t terrible. Having to regularly offer up improved contracts to avoid the coaches being poached is a pain though.

How many physios would u recommend? You said quality over quantity so is having 2 or 3 physios with good ratings be better than 7 or 8 mediocre guys?
thanks for the post.
Excessive
7 мая, 2012 at 13:39
No problem, hope it helped!
Again, I would say quality over quantity. But in my experience, its quite easy to get a good set of physios so you could get 7 or 8 quality ones ;)
