First steps in a club | Starting the game Football Manager 2015 Guide

Meetings with workers

Let's avoid any faux-pas at the start!

First thing you should do to quickly enter the club structures is to meet every one of its workers whom you will be dealing on daily basis. Conduct a series of meetings with assistants, scouts, team captain and players. This is where you can set some of the aspects of coaching staff like:

• How often will you get reports;
• The amount of offers from football agents;
• Sparring organization;
• Managing junior teams;
• Training.

A talk with the players will allow you to show your expectations for the footballers and select who will do the set pieces. Those settings can be changed anytime in the tactics menu.

First press conference

It's common knowledge that in football it's good to live in peace with journalists. You should organize your first press conference, which might have a great impact on the way you are seen not only by the media, but by the fans as well. The more prestigious club you run, the more important it is how well do you deal with journalists.
