While assigning coaches, pay attention to their attributes and workload.

Assigning coaches to individual attributes can be changed in the Coaches tab. The list of names that displays on the screen lists all of the coaches available in the club, including you also, as the manager, and the assistant. Each of the coaches can be assigned to a given training, by checking the box. The number of stars represents the coach's effectiveness within a given scope, whereas the number of stars at the bottom of the screen represents the overall training quality and training workload in the assigned aspects (the more responsibilities assigned to a given coach,, the lower his contribution to training individual aspects).

Division of categories

Training has been divided into three separate categories:

Fitness - Strength and Aerobic. This aspect corresponds to fitness training and to increasing physical aspects of players. Strength coaches can be attribute to training only in this category.

Overall - this is the most complex category of training that encompasses defensive play, offensive play, tactic literacy, ball control or shooting. For this category, you need at least five coaches that train each one of the individual aspects (it is difficult to combine an offensive coach and assign him also to defensive training).

Goalkeepers - the category of training whose aim is development of goalkeepers' skills. Goalkeeper coaches can be assigned to training in this category.

Coach attributes

Each coach ha s different attributes, thanks to which he specializes in one type of coaching only. The higher the attributes describing a given coaching type, the better that coach does. For example, with high level of Offensive, the coach is the most suitable for training offense.

The below list presents which coach attributes are useful for a given training type:

Strength - Stamina

Aerobic - Stamina

Tactic - Tactical

Ball control - Technical, Mental

Defending- Defending, Tactical

Attacking - Attacking, Tactical

Shooting - Technical, Attacking

Shot Stopping - Goalkeepers, Tactical

Handling- Goalkeepers, Technical

Determination, motivating and level of discipline are also important in case of coaches, however they are secondary attributes.

How to assign coaches?

First of all, while assigning coaches, pay attention to their attributes and assign them to appropriate training sessions. Thanks to this, you will max out on their effectiveness. Another issue is planning their workload properly, because if you assign one coach to two successive aspects of training, his effectiveness drops (his star rating becomes lower and he becomes less effective during that session). The coach that has too many assignments will simply become ineffective - try to make sure that each coach is assigned to one, or two training aspects). The less the better, but this also means additional costs and the necessity to hire new coaches. Finally, after you have defined assignments, pat attention to the overall effectiveness of the training session and the coaches' workload (at the bottom of the screen).

An ideal situation is when you can hire, possibly, the best coach for training a specific category. Then, you can decrease the workload of coaches by assigning them with weaker (and cheaper) coaches to work with. If you do not know how to do this, ask your assistant to help you (Ask assistant for assignment), although this latter option not always assigns coaches the way you would want them to be assigned.

The number of coaches that you can hire is limited. You can increase it by filing a Board request.

How to improve coach's attributes

Hiring a new coach usually involves the necessity to provide for another staff member and to ask the board for increasing the number of coaches. Sometimes, what you need is simply raising qualifications of the coach that you already have, if he does not have the highest license possible (Continental Pro). To send the coach to coaching course, access Staff, select the coach and in Contract tab, select Send to coaching course. If the board agrees to that, your coach starts raising his qualifications(also he himself needs to be interested in that). Starting the course does not automatically need completing it (it can be interrupted or prolonged), but in majority of cases the coach obtains a new license and better skills.
