babbster Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just signed Zidane as a First Team coach for my Arsenal team - for the princely sum of £925 per week. There may be better coaches out there (though he still rates a pretty decent 4 stars for Attack coaching), but I just had to have this absolute legend on my staff!

Damian Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I guess Zidane can improve his stats during the upcoming seasons , so congratulations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I do the same, going for well known ex-players, with the exception of my assistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dctimc Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Zidane is well cheap. I already had him on my staff as a scout at Real Madrid and renewing his contract cost about £210 per week. I guess he does it for the love of the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalky1989 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I love signing former players as staff. On my longterm game, I currently have Fabregas as my Assistant at Spurs, and before that had Torres as my Assistant at Liverpool. And Rooney was my under 21 coach at England. The rest of my former players and my teams are Micah Richards, Mattia Destro, Nicky Brown(a regen who has since retired from playing, and joined my staff. Was England Captain for a while, got over 100 caps), Seol-Ky-Heon, Arshavin. In the past, I've had Mark Randall(Brazil Assman), Frazier Campbell(Everton coach), David N'Gog(Newcastle AssMan), Goran Pandev(Birmingham Coach), Jonjo Shelvey(England coach, Real Madrid Manager) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I really think that younger coaches should be able to mentor players in the same way that older squad members do. It'd be cool to bring in a player like Zidane to help tutor a promising AMC. I remember Ferguson saying that he liked Solskjaer working with Macheda - it'd be the same sort of thing. I think the game in every way (see also - the biographies page) is too quick to get rid of every trace of a coach's previous life as a player. It makes it way less cool to have them around.

Chalky1989 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Fabregas at Spurs? *shudder* Yeah, I quite like that I've made him betray the Gunners, but he was a coach of mine at Liverpool, so he basically loves me, which is how I got him to join. Oddly, I just asked Mark Randall if he'd join me, and he said he'd never join a rival of his former club. So Mark Randall is more loyal to Arsenal than Fabregas........
