I’ve moved them to the correct role as ‘Technical Director’ in the editor but they don’t then appear in game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashikodi Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Every nation has a technical director, the thing is that the role of technical director usually is about selecting the technical staff of youth national teams (first teams tend to be an exception) and they are responsible for the country's football development (youth domestic competitions and stuff like that).

I think it’s still a role that should be considered to be in game? All of the above British nations have high-profile coaches actively contributing to a nations strategy. Perhaps they could be the individual that sets you targets in game when playing as a national team? @Neil Brock Edited April 6, 2020 by lbowman6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can National Team Technical Director roles be looked at for FM2021? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbowman6 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Another example is Osain Roberts who is now technical Director for Morocco. Can the possibility of adding this role to the new game please be reviewed? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokuYoru95 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 One of my suggestions . FA for every nations . Use board system for every NT . Even Malaysia has a Technical Director now . If not all make the important roles available like President , Secretary General and Technical Director first. They will dictate coaching staff , league structure and rules and many more.

It’s not an extreme change - I can remember requesting ‘Loan Managers’ last year and that made the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
