Similarly, it’s also possible to cap your playing experience at Sunday League level. If you want a harder challenge in Football Manager 2020, or one that fits with a ‘started from the bottom’ narrative, it is possible to create a manager with no coaching badges at all. The number of points you have available to invest in the aforementioned manager attributes is dictated by two things: (1) the coaching badges you give your manager and (2) their past experience as a player. Motivating - your ability to motivate your players as a group in team talks and meetings Coaching Badges and Past Experience Level of Discipline – the likelihood of players bringing their concerns to you a strict manager will find players less likely to confront them with minor issues Man Management - the overall management of training and the nature of your interactions with players on an individual basis Youngster Knowledge - the default knowledge of the attributes of individual youngsters Player Knowledge – the default knowledge of the attributes of individual senior players Working With Youngsters - the ability to work with younger players in trainingĪdaptability - the chances of a manager finding employment in a foreign leagueĭetermination – the manager’s adeptness at getting their own way with the board a less determined manager is more likely to have their requests turned down Technical - the ability to coach the technical aspect in training Mental - the ability to coach the mental aspect in training

You’ve spent hours researching teams and deliberating on the Choose A Club window, mesmerised by the multitude and variety of Club Visions at your fingertips. You’ve finally picked the league and the club you’ll manage in Football Manager 2020.
