International Staff

I just became coach of Cameroon. In the press conference, I was alerted to the lack of staff. I've offered a dozen people staff jobs--Cameroonians, Europeans, good coaches, bad coaches, all across the board.

Everybody turns me down.

What is the secret to adding staff to the international back room group?

I have found this tricky at times too, especially for the physio and goalkeeping coach positions at smaller nations. You could try, 1 Place an advert for the positions. 2 offer the jobs to your club staff if you are managing a club as well. 3 offer to staff of the same nationality or neighbouring countries.

I find the best way to get staff is to place adverts for all positions and see who's interested as I find near enough everyone I offer the job too, always decline

Dont get international jobs with crap nations as you cant get any staff. The only staff that will accept will be Cameroonians and if there arent any in the database, youre screwed.

Yeah, that takes a lot of the fun out of international management; you should at least be able to attract coaches you have a positive relationship with.

I think you should also be able to attract coaches based on your reputation as well. I am sure that if capello or mourinho or del bosque were to take the cameroon job, some top level coaches would join them.

There should also be more movement from a national team staff, though; if your national team is doing well, other clubs or countries should try to poach your assman, and it should actually happen. Once a coach gets a national team gig, though, he's pretty much got it until he's been fired (usually by you); that's not realistic. At the very least, whenever a manager gets sacked the backroom staff should turn over.
