Let us take a look at the best Football Manager 2021 coaches and who I recommend you to sign!

NOTE! Despite the improvement made to training, I’ve decided to not split up the lists according to the best attacking tactical coaches nor the best possession technical coaches.

Overall Coaches

A great overall coach has the competency to work under all the different training categories. Their coaching attributes and overall abilities are generally equally spread such as they are equally good at possession technical compared to defending tactical. These overall coaches help to reduce the workload of two or more coaching assignments and will assist the best coaches with their broad section of abilities.
