i have just started in trying to get decent backroom staff for my team. Hope someone can answer this for me please.

If "coaches" coach both full and youth teams, whats the point in having 1st team coaches if they can only do full team?

Does the level of coaching influence go down for "coaches" as they are spreading themselves more thinly than "1st team coaches"as they have more players to train ?

I agree I cant see the point in fitness/goalkeeping/youth coaches either if you can get just a normal "coach" to do it.

As for your question, If you have 1 coach covering all areas then all your star ratings will be rubbish regardless his ability. Also, the workload would be heavy which I guess would be detrimental. Ideally I like to get 1 coach for each area of training, so 8/9(?) coaches. They will be assigned to both the 1st team and the youth team concentrating only on their area of expertise. I then have my assistant doing all areas with the 1st team and coaches regardless of his abilities, I use him just so the workload remains light for all training regimes.

Thanks for the reply, i worked out that when offering them a contract they wanted more for being a coach rather than a 1st team coach. But i would of thought being a 1st team coach would of been more of a senior position

Perhaps so, But a general coach can work with both sets of players so I would of guessed he'd want more due to his versatility or the actual amount of work they may have to do.

Whenever their contracts are up for renewel my coaches start asking for silly money £2-3k pw. I usually let them go as there are always coaches available with similar or better stats for £300 a week. I know the reputations of the lesser coaches are worse but I decide its worth losing them and save thousands a week.

Sometimes there are great coaches that don't have good "working with youngsters" so perhaps you wouldn't want them coaching them. some have fantastic "working with youngsters" so you might want them only as youth coaches.

Actually, sometimes first team coaches make sense. For example, if a coach has good stat for defending, but crap stat for working with youngsters, you do not want him to work with youth team (he won't give him 5 star trainning anyway). If this coach is in your team at the beggining and you cannot get rid of him, it is better to offer him 1st team job only.

But if you were concern about his low working with youngsters attribute, would you just not give that coach a assignment in your youth training?

Also whenever you take a new job, also at the start of the game, all your staff will except mutual consent releases allowing you to bring in your own staff.

Well, it makes your work a little easier if you already know who's 1st team and who is youth coach. may give you a little edge on not making some mistakes...

and if you simply don't want to choose 1st team coach and all that, simply don't and leave it be.

I honestly think it's a good thing.
