I read a fantastic guide on how to get 5 starts for each training category and what qualities a coach needs to get 5 stars. However during last season and this, my shooting coach has dropped to 4 stars. Could anyone advise me on how to keep my coaches at the top of their game?? No coaches has a high workload as I assign 1 coach per training category and my ASS MAN assigned to all.

Hope this makes sense!

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Do not know the exact answer for your case, but there are few things to look at:

1. Is the coach old? If so it is natural.

2. Does he have low "level of discipline" stat? Could be a factor.

3. If your squad young and he is bad at working with youngsters, that might be the reason.

4. Coach adaptability. If it is low, he may not give his best.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into those ideas. So far I've been rplacing them during season, but it's costing a fortune in compo.

Try to sign coaches who have 5 star attributes in 2 areas so you can mix and match when there ratings drop. Unfortunately with goalkeeping coach you are stuck. To be honest I haven't noticed much if any difference between 4 and 5 stars when it is coach who was originally 5 and dropped to 4. I went a whole season just playing games and when I checked my training the shooting and ball control had dropped to 4 stars. I don't know at what point this happened but it didn't have any noticeable effect on players attributes i.e. no downward red arrows.

The thing is that coaches attributes are treated exactly like player attributes in that the 1 to 20 attributes and associated star ratings are actually represented by a larger number in the game engine. I don't know what exactly this value is but as an example assume it is between 0 and 200. Hence 1 point on the attributes you see actually represents 10 points in the game engine.
e.g.

Coach A: Game engine Attacking = 190
Attacking attribute you see = 20

Coach B: Game engine Attacking = 197
Attacking attribute you see = 20

The point I'm trying to make with this rambling description is that if your coach was 5 stars and performing well, and then drops to 4 stars it is propably because he is on the cusp between the value brackets and thus it won't affect greatly how well he performs.

So if Coach A above drops from 190 to 189 you will see that as a drop from 20 to 19 and his stars may drop from 5 to 4, but it will have negligible effect on how he performs.

That's my 2 cents and I could be completely wrong

when looking at the guide for coaches, try to sign coaches whose attributes are well above the requirement for five stars. that way if they drop a bit no biggie.

coaches attributes sometimes seem to drop entirely randomly regardless of age. i'm not sure if they temporarily get better too or not. younger coaches, such as ex players, sometimes improve dramatically over time as coaches.
