I've tried for many coaches and scouts and got some of them. But some of the guys you'd call "The Best" aren't listening, for eg. Ricardo Moniz, Lemos Filho, Ayestaran, Baldini, etc are not listening to offers from me.
But I reckon I've managed to put together a good backroom team in the end:
Playing with Real Madrid, so there's already Silvino Louro & Rui Faria by default('cos of Mourinho
) both of whom I'd recommend.
Other than those, I've signed:
• Vincenzo Pincolini- Fitness Coach with 5 Stars! This guy is arguably the best Fitness Coach in the game! Just 52,000/- per annum salary too!
• Gian Nicola Bisciotti- Fitness Coach, 5 Stars! 125 K per annum. Yes, that's 3 Fitness Coaches including Faria. But I use Heavy-workload Pre-Season schedules that I've made myself and need these 3 to have minimal risk of injuries.
• Rosario Di Vincenzo- GK Coach, 4.5 Stars. 350K per annum salary.
• Paul McGuinness- Youth Coach, 4.5 Stars for Ball Control, 4 Stars for Defending, 4 Stars for Shooting. But 650K a year!
• Peter Farrell- Youth Coach, 4 Stars each for Shooting, Attacking, Ball Control or Tactics. 125K per annum.
• Massimo Neri- First Team Coach, 4.5 Stars for Ball Control but 5 Stars for Strength or Aerobics! 4 Stars for Shooting. 250K per annum.
• Manuel Delgado Meco- Coach, 4 Star Defending, 4.5 Stars in Strength or Aerobics! 125K per annum.
• Keith Bertschin- Coach, 4 Stars in Attacking or Shooting. 250K per annum.
• Thomas Horster- Coach, 4 Stars in Tactics. This guy was actually a Scout but I signed him to be a coach. He's got good enough stats to be one... 250K per annum.
• Tony Carr- Coach, 4 Star Ball Control, 4 Star Shooting! 250 K per annum.
• Marco Frigerio- Physio. One of the best out there with 20 Physiotherapy, 16 Determination, 16 Level of Discipline and 16 Fitness. 150K per annum. Someone else I've been keeping tabs on is Julio Tous who's actually a Coach but is an equally good Physio with 20 Phys, 20 Det, only 13 Dis & 12 Fitness but 18 Man Management. There's also this guy in Brazil named "File"(
) with 19 Phys, 16 Det, 16 Dis and 20 Fitness. For me, he wasn't listening offers. Will need to fire one more of my existing physios and hire one more soon, 'cos as I said, I need the best fitness and treatment available...
As for Scouts, there are 3 that I've somehow managed to get and are in my opinion the best Scouts in the game:
• Ernesto Varnier(300K per annum),
• Gilmar Francisco(just 52K per annum!),
• Hans-Martin Kleitsch(250K per annum)
All 3 have 20, 20, 20 viz in Judging Player Potential, Judging Player Ability and Working with Youngsters. Already had Rafael Monfort at Madrid who is very good too. So these 4 are now my main guys. Bryan Robson is a top class Scout too like these guys if you're looking for Englishmen.
For Assistant Manager, I've kept hold of Aitor Karanka, but there is one guy who works for Palmeiras- if you can get him to listen to offers, there is NO ONE better! Name's Valdir de Moraes. Had him in FM 2010 and he's just the best you can ask for! AMAZING attributes all around. But I can't get him to listen to offers in FM 2011.
Even tried adding another manager, taking control of Palmeiras and firing him so he'd be unemployed((6)). But still he "wasn't interested in discussing terms with my club". :|
