Just my recommendation for an Assistant Manager (and a very cheap one):

Jair Ventura
Attacking 14
Defending 15
Man Management 16
Mental 17
Tactical 17
Youngsters 16

Adaptability 15
Determination 11
Judging Ability 17
Judging Potential: 16
Discipline: 19
Motivating: 20
Tactical Knowledge: 18

Costs me €2000 p/w on Arsenal! He had no contract when I got him (season 3 I think). And has 44 years so he will last :)
AFAIK he is the best in the game.
 
Hey Raikan,i think you forgot some

GK Coach-Harald Schumacher-Free

Youth Coach-Alexandre Grasseli-Cruzeiro
-Eugenio Carlos De Souza
 
Can You suggest a Shooting and a Ball controll coach besides them who are there? Almost everybody doesnt want begin contract negociations and those who want, refuse to being a coach
 
Here is my list of 5* or 4,5* coaches who have the chance to become 5* coaches ( tested with Coach Calculator). My current season is 2015-2016, so Im not sure which teams they are when the game starts from 2011-2012. Some of them might be born later in the game, too.

Marcel Lucassen ( Assistant manager ) 5* Ball control ( After 2013-2014 , I think ) free
Adrian Lamb ( Fitness coach ) 5* when the game starts, free
Paul Winsper ( Fitness coach ) 5* when the game starts, free
Kevin Hitchcock ( Goalkeeping coach ) 5*
Ruben Sosa ( coach ) 4,5* ball controll and shooting
Flavio Tanajura ( coach ) 5* defending
Steve Bould ( coach ) 4,5* defending
Thomas Hässler ( coach ) 4,5* ballcontrol and shooting
Alexandru Irineu ( fitness coach ) 5*
Oren Krispin ( youth coach ) 4,5* tactical
Robert Lopez ( starts as a player, 35 years old, Uruguay ) 4,5* ballcontrol
Pedro Peso ( youth coach ) 4,5* shooting
Jairo Sanchez ( fitness coach ) 5*
Darlan Schneider ( fitness coach ) 5*
Elkin Eduardo Eguis ( fitness coach ) 5*
Ron Olyslager ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5*
Joop Hiele ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5*
Neicer Reasco ( starts as a player ) 4,5* defending
Jose Maria Pazo ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5*
Hugo Tuberquia ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5*
Hector Salcedo ( fitness coach ) 4,5*
Luis Eduardo Rios ( fitness coach ) 4,5*
Adolfo Valencia ( coach ) attacking 4,5*
Flavio Davino ( assistant manager, Mexico ) 4,5* tactical
Aloys Wijnker ( Great allround coach after 2013-2014 )
Ivan Carneiro ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5* ( can become 5*, I think )
Eduardo Nino ( goalkeeping coach ) 4,5* ( can become 5*, I think )
Dardo Perez ( coach ) 4,5* shooting ( can become 5* )
Herbert Silva Cantera ( coach ) 4,5* tactical

Highly recommended Youth coaches:

Salvatore Cerrone , 4,5* tactical
Anthony Santoro , good allround youth coach
Piero Bosaglia, 4,5* goalkeeping ( can become 5* )
Alon Maya , 4,5* ball control and shooting ( can become 5* shooting )
Carlos Adrian Morales ( starts as a player, Mexico ) good allroud youth coach in 2014-2015
Lima ( youth coach, starts the game ) 4,5* fitness ( can become 5*, I think )

Best assistant managers list in football manager 2012

  • Tony Coton
  • Jair Ventura
  • Sidnei lobo
  • Valdir de Moraes
  • Brian McClair
  • Richard Money
  • Elio Carravetta
  • Oleg Luzhnyi
  • Mike Gatting
  • Olexiy Mikhailichenko
  • Mauro Tassotti
 
Here's a quick update. Brilliant South Korean goalkeeping coach Cha Sang-Kwang ( 4,5* , easily becomes 5* ). He is just quite difficult to hire.
 
I use those coaches in my milan save:

Fitness:

Valter Di Salvo(5 star)
Pintus(5 star)

Tactics:

Mauro Tassotti(4,5 star)

Ball Control:

Giuseppe Colombino(4 star)

Defending:

Fulvio Fiorin(4 star)

Attacking:

Sergio Zanetti(4 star)

Shooting:

Paolo Riela(4 star)

Goalkeeping:

Mario Landucci(4,5 star)

Beniamino Abate(4 star)


I think, that is better to have 4 star coach, than 5 star coach from foreign country, except if his attribute adaptability above 15.

Raikan, if I cant find Cruijf it must mean that I have not loaded the dutch database right?
 
Do I need more than 1 coach specialized in the different areas(Attacking, Defending, etc) ?
 
I find your Coach Calculator very useful but it seem changed a little bit in 2013 for GK rating.
So I try to re-write it and make it available in android, try it out here
 
Here are the main coaches I usually sign right off the bat with a new save.
Chief Scout: Steve Rowley - Judge Player Ability 20 Judge Player Potential 20
Head of Youth Development: Roberto Samaden - Working with Youngsters 20 Motivating 19 JPA 19 JPP 19
Assistant Coach: Francisco Ayestran - Becomes World Class in a few years after getting all his licenses. Always a free agent at the start. Young enough that you don't have to worry about him retiring anytime soon.
Head Physio: David Fevre 19's and 18's in all the relevant categories. World Class rep.
