[Coaching course: not enough personal interest]

I have a youth fitness coach that I want to send on a coaching course to improve himself, but my board rejected this for the second time in a row. I checked in FM Genie Scout but the guy still has 50 points between his current ability and his potential ability. Can anyone explain to my why my board rejects sending him on a coaching course for the second time? Are there specific attributes that make he is not likely to go on a coaching course? Or is it because he is a youth coach and/or a fitness coach? He doesn't want to sign a regular youth coach contract for the same wage.

[How to increase staff attributes?]

I think young coaches automatically improve a little over time as well, even when they don't attent coaching courses.

I noticed that for some coaches I don't have the option to send them on a coaching course, does this mean they reached their potential? I am sure these 2 coaches have completed their last course. Also my HOYD refuses a course, is this because he is not a coach or is this because he is not ambitious to improve?

It all depends if the country has adopted the bosman ruling. China is an example of a country that doesn't use it. A player can only move clubs if he is released by the club or a fee is agreed.

Thanks for your reply, this is the kind of answer I am looking for. Now I know I don't have to scout in China with priority when I am managing a club in Asia, as I mostly sign players for free and approach them 6 months before their contract expires. I also won't include China anymore in a worldwide journeyman career like the one I am running right now.

As far as I know now the Bosman rule applies to almost all countries, but the stage at which I can approach players can be different. It's 6 months for most countries (including EU), probably 3 months for some countries ???, and surely 1 month for the UK after the Brexit. I would like to know more, for example about other continents than Europe. For example which countries or regions use 3 months and 1 month (beside UK) before the contract expires? 

Edit: I also want to download an editor if someone can explain me how I can check there if what transfer rules countries use (but I will only use the editor for that purpose, only to check transfer rules per country and not change anything).

I don't think "any other player playing outside the country" is correct. I think this only applies for EU-countries. And my question is especially for players in countries outside the EU. I already knew the rules for UK (which is outside EU after brexit), but this is not really related to my question. 

[Free transfers Non-EU countries?]

I like managing teams from smaller countries, also outside Europe. I am wondering what transfer rules apply for free transfers outside the European Union (EU). 

I know that I can approach players in the EU 6 months before their contracts expire. But there appear to be different rules for other countries, I read that players from England can be approached 1 month before their contract ends. But I don't know about for example Mexico, Russia, Egypt and Oceania. Can I sign players from these countries on a free transfer before they are officially a free agent? Probably some countries use the same guidelines as the EU (6 months), some use the same as rules as England (1 month) and maybe there are also countries where we can approach players 3 months before their contract ends or countries where you can never get a player on a free transfer unless his club releases a player. Is there a list with the transfer rules per country or region or can someone post guidelines about free transfer here? 

And are the rules based on nationality of the player or the league where the player currently plays?
