Coaches Matter

Coaches Matter

In Football Tycoon, your coach plays a major role in your team’s overall performance and long-term success. While players bring the skill and fitness, it’s your coach who keeps everything running smoothly. Choosing the right coach at the right time can be the difference between climbing the leagues or getting stuck at the bottom.

🎯 What Does the Coach Do?

Your coach directly affects:

1. Player Happiness
   • A good coach boosts morale, making players perform better.
   • If morale is high, your players train harder and maintain higher fitness over time.
2. Team Fitness Over Time
   • The longer you keep the same coach, the better your players adapt, increasing your coach bonus to team fitness.
3. Match Performance
   • A strong coach improves your chances in matches by giving your team fitness bonuses and maintaining morale, which directly influences your win streak and fan happiness.

⏫ Coach Bonuses Explained

• Coach Growth Bonus:
  Every day you stick with the same coach, you gain a small coach bonus to fitness.
  • Starts at 0% and grows by 1% per in-game day, maxing out at 100% bonus.
  • Replacing a coach resets this bonus back to zero.
• Match Performance:
  Coaches give a bonus to your total team fitness during games.
  • This bonus decreases the more games they manage, due to a natural decay effect.
  • You can refresh the bonus by hiring a new coach, but you lose the long-term growth bonus.
  • Example: A brand-new coach gives a big immediate bonus, but their impact fades over time unless you switch again.

💰 How Much Does a Coach Cost?

Coach prices depend on your team’s average player rating. The better your team, the more expensive the coach.

• Example Pricing (based on average player rating):
  • 1-Star Team ➜ $20,000
  • 2-Star Team ➜ $2,000,000
  • 3-Star Team ➜ $7,000,000
  • 4-Star Team ➜ $16,000,000
  • 5-Star Team ➜ $29,000,000

Pro tip: Don’t overspend on a coach if your team is weak—save big investments for later when it makes a real difference.

🔄 When Should You Replace Your Coach?

• If your coach’s match bonus has decayed too much, and your team is underperforming, it’s time for a change.
• If you just promoted to a tougher league, you’ll need a fresh coach to stay competitive.
• If you’re stuck in a losing streak, a new coach can revive morale and reset negative streaks.

But be careful! Replacing a coach resets their growth bonus, so it’s a trade-off between short-term gains and long-term improvements.

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Hire a new coach before major events (like Cup matches or season finales) for an instant performance boost.
• Keep an eye on win streaks—a good streak boosts fan happiness and morale, and a coach helps maintain that.
• Pair a strong coach with upgraded training facilities for maximum fitness gains.

An excellent coach can turn an average squad into champions. Manage your coaches like a pro, and lead your club to football glory!
