Domus Clamantium Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 In my experience trying to recruit the best staff, there are a lot of candidates who are allocated as Managers. Unlike other roles, those allocated such cannot be recruited, and you get an auto-refuse. I am wondering whether anyone has been able to recruit one of these Managers as a staff member. For example, have you had Jose Mourinho as your Assistant Manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eple Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Playing as Athletic I managed to get David Moyes as a coach. Does that count? He was sacked after one season by Man Utd, had a two year break, before getting QPR relegated on his first attempt. I had him as a coach for a year before he was hired as a manager by Sevilla, where he has been for a while and always seems to finish just slightly out of reach of the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronia Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 No, not really.. I also have never had one of my coaches be taken away to become Manager elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fenton Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 On FM09 I had a regen I signed in the Championship as a 20 or so year old that stayed with me through to retirement in his mid 30s. He became my assistant manager for a couple of years, until he was offered a big manager's job (Newcastle I think, who were Europa League regulars by that point) and did pretty well there. He lost his job though after a tycoon takeover and poor run immediately after - so of course I fired my assistant manager and had him straight back!

gunner86 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I had Ricky Sbragia as a scout. And Paul McDermott as a coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Clamantium Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just wanted to check whether it was a set part of the game for everyone. Is it simply a matter of having a high enough reputation to get people such as Mourinho to join your staff? Or are there individuals who will always refuse? RE thread title, it is such coz I reckon there are managers in the game and indeed most managers that will never be part of anyone's staff. I am checking if i am wrong.

sicalegs Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I took in Paul Lambert as an Under 21 AM for around 2 years after he got fired, then he got a manager offer and poof, he disappeared faster than a cheeseburger in my hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCraigus Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think it's only right if there are some managers who wouldn't accept anything other than a managerial post. I can't ever see Mourinho, Van Gaal, Ancelotti, Guardiola etc playing second fiddle at any club and it would take a bit of realism away if that happened. Very surprised with the guy who said he had Wenger as an AM as I would've included him in the aforementioned group too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I seem to remember on one of the first Champ Man's with staff you could get him to be your Ass Man if you took over at Arsenal and fired Pat Rice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I managed to get Deschamps to join me at PSG in FM13, immediately after he left his job with France. Despite the club rep, even I was surprised he was prepared to stoop to such a level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never managed it since, though now he just retires anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 yea I got Alan Curbishley as a coach you could try Giggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Clamantium Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Another question. Do some managers refuse to be part of anyone's backroom team because of a mechanism other than reputation alone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
