Hello!
In my FM23 save with Eibar, I have a reserve team called Vitoria in the third tier of Spanish football and we share the same training facilities. This means that first team coaches can work with the reserve team and reserve team coaches can also work with the first team. After uploading the save file into FM24, however, this is no longer the case.
This is in contrast with the FM23 and FM24 manuals, which are identical in this regard: “First Team Assistant Managers and Coaches, however, may only work with the senior squad itself, and the same is true for all Reserve, Under-21, Under-19 or Under-18 staff: they may only work with their assigned age groups – with one exception. If two or more squads share facilities – for example a First Team and a Reserve Team train at the same site – then the assignments are available for anyone from any squad to move around freely.”
Here is an example from FM23:
In this screen shot, Kylian Carre, Djiby Mbaye, and Josue Molina are all reserve team coaches and I have selected them to help out the first team as well.
After switching to FM24, however, Kylian Carre, Djiby Mbaye, and Josue Molina are no longer available to work with the first team:
Moreover, in FM24, I can no longer assign myself as the first team manager to work with the reserve team either:
(This is a screen shot of the reserve team training and Daniel Criado is the head coach of the reserve team.)
In this case, the manual states that “as Manager, you can assign yourself to any of the teams at the club, while the same level of delegation can be applied to First Team Fitness Coaches and Goalkeeping Coaches.” Gregoire Delhaye (first team fitness coach), Jose Maria (first team fitness coach), and Zoltan Kelemen (first team GK coach), are also not available.
This issue only applies to the reserve team. I can still assign myself, my fitness coaches, and my goalkeeping coach to work with the Under 19s, so no issue there.
Please let me know if you need any other information and thank you for all your hard work.
