[Lead Coach Rating]

Thanks, appreciate it, you are much more experienced than me, but please consider I don't think it is academic outside the top clubs. Is is much cheaper for a lower league club to have a 3,5* star lead coach supported by a 3* star coach than a 4/4,5* coach supported by a 1* coach. Particularly for lower league clubs I think this is a very relevant question.

[Lead Coach Rating]

It has been my understanding that only the lead coach affects training quality whereas the supporting coaches assigned to the same training category affect the overall workload but not the quality of the training. If that was to hold true than it would not matter at all whether the supporting coach is a one star coach or a four star coach.

What makes me wonder is that when the AI assigns the coaches it will never put a one star coach as the supporting coach. Instead the AI will always make sure that the second coach in any given category is at least mediocre and it will even sacrifice the lead coach rating in another training category to achieve this. To some extent it would also contradict reality to assume that the second coach in a training category is not influencing the quality of training, i.e. to say that it doesn't matter whether the person is one star or three star.

If anyone can share some insights that would be greatly appreciated.
