2feet Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Fairly often you will see a staff member who has high attributes in both fitness coaching and physiotherapy. Is it good to try to get them to accept a contract for say physiotherapy as the first role, and fitness coaching for the second role? Or is it not worth the trouble (its really difficult to get anyone to accept a contract with two roles)? Will it be just as effective if i just give them one role in physiotherapy, and then under the coaches training screen just allocate them to fitness coaching anyway?

gunner86 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It very much depends who you're playing as. Top clubs with big budgets will have no reason to ask someone to do 2 roles. In the lower leagues, clubs may not be able to afford a Fitness Coach AND a physio, so that's where it comes in handy For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure you can't have someone hired as only a physio (i.e. single role) perform coaching duties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Never worked for me. Job candidates don't accept secondary roles. And I've been coaching really poor clubs (Brazil or Italy Third Division...). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmfan00 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sometimes if I'm playing as a lower league team and I find a gem as a staff like a scout then I set him as head of youth or if I get a head of youth I try to get him as s scout as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steesh86 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Never worked for me either in any FM game including FM19, no one accepts them. Great idea, but another half-baked SI idea Edited February 21, 2019 by steesh86 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazinuk Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I had success asking a Physio to be a Sport Scientist as a secondary job. Managing Aldershot in League Two at the time I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovis Dexter Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don’t think that there is a lot of point in looking to sign somebody to perform two jobs. If you do the person takes up two staff slots. So if the board will allow, say, three physios and three coaches and you employ somebody as a physio / coach you will only be allowed to hire two more physios and two more coaches. The only exception to this that I’ve seen is when I’ve gone to a club and found one of the existing member staff has a dual role but it is specified that the secondary role does not count towards staff numbers.

I've used it in previous game versions to create a player/something in order to bring ageing high salary players right down and free up wage budget. Havent had the same strategy work in 19, but havent played this version much either. havent had a guy with 2 staff roles though, its always a player + something Edited September 18, 2019 by N^G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really so much for saving on staff slots (which it doesn't), it's about saving on the staff wages cost at lower levels. If you have one person doing two jobs, it'll likely cost considerably less than hiring two people to do them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwchriste Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've done this at lower levels. You can also hire a player/coach or player/assman, etc. I've done that too. It was purely to save on wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcp1417 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've actually had pretty good luck using multiple roles, even at higher levels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caning the Days Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Does the staff member perform worse in any way by having double the workload? It would definitely be a help when managing a small club with finite resources Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i always make sure my coaches only have 1 job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caning the Days Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thanks Siven. Do you know if it impacts them as scouts at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
