PaulHartman71 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 In my Dafuges challenge game I was just checking to see how Arsenal did (as I do every season) and noticed on their staff screen a rather interesting youth coach.

PaulHartman71 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Also would like to add Joey Barton and Gary Neville are both managing non-league sides - Ashton Utd and Clevedon respectively. Elsewhere, Edwin van der Sar is a Goalkeeping coach at PSV, Dirk Kuyt is a youth coach at Stuttgart, Deco is a Youth coach at Benfica and Nuno Valente is a Youth Coach, at Northampton. Another funny one is that Jason Koumas is a scout at Manchester United Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick... Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 All the real players on my game have long since retired, so you'll just have to believe me when I say that Ronaldinho's first job in football after retiring as a player was as a scout at Sunderland, and that Michael Owen spent 10 years managing San Marino.

Melancholic Goat Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 On 08 Darren Anderton turned into an absolutely phenomenal coach and stayed with my Notts Co side from League 2 all the way to our Champions League success in 2021. In that same year Norwich City were relegated from the Blue Square Premier under the astute management of a certain Jens Lehmann. Gerrard ended up as a coach at Liverpool and Lampard as ass man at Chelsea... which I thought was quite nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it the lazy way and posted an advert for a new ass. man and the only applicant with decent stats was Frank De Boer, so i (very reluctantly) hired him, went on to get sacked and guess who ended up the full time Celtic manager....yep Frank DeBoer.
