A good Goalkeeping Coach on Football Manager are vital. At most clubs on Football Manager, you can have Goalkeeping Coaches for both your main team and youth teams. The modern and future goalkeeper coach is more than just “the guy that prepares the club’s goalkeepers”. In today’s game, he should have a greater role to play in the process of pre-match preparation, particularly in the area of set pieces. This is where he should be liaising with other staff members…
A new role was introduced on Football Manager 2020, the Technical Director. My simple advice regarding the role of a Technical Director is if you want to run a fully functioning club where advice is given by staff you can trust, you’ll need to recruit a good and reliable Technical Director. What does a Technical Director do? The Technical Director will be the person (should you give them the responsibilities) that will be in charge of the various departments (coaching,…

Normally at this stage of the summer, we are knee deep in an International tournament and fantasy booking who will win the whole thing. Sadly, the 2022 World Cup has been switched to the winter due to the intense summer heat in Qatar, which means a lack of summer football (for a month or so). But what if you created your own international fun in Football Manager 2022, by taking on a nation to either win trophies or even just…
North America is a continent that I think is undervalued on Football Manager in terms of management. It is a continent that can produce some of football’s top talents with countries like America, Mexico, and Canada amongst others that have seen players like Landon Donovan, Hirving Lozano, Clint Dempsey, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David and many others. Granted, in some nations the registration rules are complicated but that makes for a worthy challenge on Football Manager. Below we’ll provide a list…
Assessing the situation A wage structure is a great way to start getting a tough financial situation in order. When I first took over HSV I was aware their financial situation wasn’t great. So, when I clicked on the finances screen it wasn’t too much of a shock to read about the £42 million debt. It’s a big debt and it’s being paid back at £875k per week. However, it’s not one I’m panicking about just yet. We have one…

However, there’s always one pretty good player that gets left out because they don’t fit in with exactly how I want to set up. That player then…
