I am playing a Barcelona save ( at the start of the 2013 - 2014 season) when an email came through linking Rio Ferdinand to West Brom. I nearly spit my coffee out assuming that Rio wouldn't want to play they're. Then to my shock I saw that he is now a Chelsea youth coach. Paul Scholes is also an unemployed coach!

Has anyone else got some players plying their trades in management anywhere else or even weird?
 
i currently have rustu recbar as my assistant manager and robbie keane and michael ballack as 2 of my coaches, altogether that might not sound too weird, but the fact they were willing to join me at pennarossa in the san marinese league when i started as sunday league footballer reputation might prove otherwise.
 
Lol that's a few coups there. Fair plays mate.
 
Im with Liverpool , Have Drogba , Bellamy , Gerrard and Carragher
 
did heskey get booed? as your assistant
steven reid on my west brom save, i released him on a free and he become u21 manager for ireland and also hates me
 
Zat Knight becomes an amazing assistant manager 10 years or so in, or at least he did on my save (and he was at Tranmare in L2 or something before I found him with 155CA or thereabouts). Phil Neville as well
 
In my current game, it's Feb 2015.

Rio Ferdinand is the Man City Assistant Manager - Deco, Thierry Henry & Lucio all Youth Coaches there.

Ronaldinho's a scout at Wigan in the Championship - Phil Neville is their manager.

Owen Hargreaves is Bolton Manager

Jonathan Woodgate is Blyth Spartans Manager.

Drogba's Le Mans 1st Team Coach.

Matthew Upson is Exeter Assistant.

Jay Bothroyd is Bournmouth Assistant (Only 32, surprised he's retired already)

Kanu's a Youth Coach at Utd.

Sol Campbell coach at Everton, Wayne Bridge at Middlesborough, Barry Ferguson at Notts Forest.

Thats awesome, most of them are national/continental and some are even world class.

Are there any stand out coaches? (their stats)


Having ex players as coaches always seems better though

Michael ballack and thomas sorensen are properly the best, i did have drogba who had good stats but he went to man utd to be assistant manager to david moyes, when alex ferguson retired.
 
Some of those are awesome mate. Where some ex-players for you? Because i noticed their wages are all pretty high!
