Staff - Coaches (Part 1)

In this post I hope to cover both the normal Coaches and the youth coaches. In FM12, there was more distinction between the two. You knew which coaches took the regular team and which ones took the youth set up. FM13 (for me) seems to lose that distinction. But still, I will try my best to cover both areas.

Arsenal start with 5 Coaches, with a maximum of 10. This covers both youth and first team so be wise to make sure that you cover both areas (even though I'm sure that they overlap anyway).

Boro Primorac seems to be the only coach worth keeping for the first team, with David Court the pick of the U18 staff. Steve Leonard is a possible keeper. Be cautious of sacking the rest, but still bring in your own staff, ones that are bloody good. I try to get coaches that overlap in stats too. Eg: Angel Vales has a 19 technique and tactical training. 1 coach, 2 areas. Bosh.
(Don't worry, I'll do a list of ones that I find, and ones that I sign).

Right.
Attack Coaches: For this I'm going to show you a lot of people that are high in the Attack Coaching Stat... Duh! Again, most of these will be Unemployed. They tend to be the easiest to get hold of.

• Chico Fraga: 16 Attack, 17 Technical, 16 Youngsters.
• Clive Allen: 17 Attack, 17 Youngsters
• Gerd Muller: 18 Attack, 18 WWY. This guy's from Bayern Munich, currently U23 coach. Wants to be a full Coach, but offer him enough he'll go as U18s. £86k comp.
• Jeffrey Talan: 17 Att, 17 Tech, 17 WWY. Again, with a club, reasonable contract, with £79.1k comp. Hurry, his contract ends June 2013.
• Rodolfo Borrell: 17 Att, 18 Tech, 20WWY. Liverpool's Reserves Manager. Prefers to be a coach. Expensive. £1m+ Comp.

Defence: Same as above, but for defence. Just to warn, all of these will include the WWY stat so that it can cover both first team and youth (remember, you have young first team members too).

• Paulo Cesar Batista dos Santos: 17 Def, 16 Tact, 17 WWY
• Massimo Bonini: 18 Def, 16 Fit, 20 WWY

These 2 are by far the best really. Niko Kovac (17 D, 19 WWY) is the only real other option. But again, My opinion, search around.

Tactics: For me, I've already dabbled with this (dos Santos ^). But I need someone with good tactical coaching, but also good tactical knowledge. There aren't a great deal of these though, and thankfully, you already start with a good'un. Milos Babic and Otto Baric (both 16/16) are the only free ones. Bryan Robson (scout from Sunderland) is 16/17, Inter's Sergio Zanetti is 17/16. I went for Zanetti - £301k comp. Yikes!

Technical: Again, covered with Chico Fraga, but why not dable for more. I went for a more technique AND mental (the 2 seem to go together).

• Marcel Lucassen - 20mental, 18technical. Job done.
• Tommy Martin - 16 Tech, 15 Mental, 19WWY = from Man U. only £75k comp. Youth.
