Any guides to starting unemployed?

I play this game 10 years now, and I like to think I am good at it. With good understanding of tactics, player development and all other stuff that matters. But i tend to play top tier leagues. Sometimes with weaker clubs but still top divisions. I had a few lower league saves and had some fun with it. What I never tried is Journeyman style. I was thinking about starting unemployed with no coaching badges but with good footballing experience, maybe professional footballer, so not really starting from the bottom but somewhere in the middle.

But before i start I'd like to read some guide or tips for starting unemployed and can't seem to find any content on that topic except manager stories. Any guides or suggestions?

Its really no different to managing any other club.

Start unemployed > Apply for jobs > get one then look at the team.

Improve it where you can based on what you can afford.

The one thing that you possibly do different at that level is player development. You generally have fairly poor facilities so you maybe focus more on bringing in first team players rather than bringing them through from the youth team.

Simple. Have no club. Apply for job. Get one.

as he said

Patience is the only advice I'd have. But apart from that, what they all said. Normally you'll end up with a job in October/November time with a team that is lower than it should be. Try and get one of them.
