The Coaching System
For ten years, Ethan Carter was cursed.
No matter which club he coached, he never won a single match. The world called him “The Cursed Coach.” Fans ridiculed him. Players disrespected him. The media destroyed him.
But on one fateful night, his Bundesliga team—the weakest in the league—was leading 1-0 against a footballing giant.
Ninety minutes. One last chance. The biggest upset of the season.
The final whistle blew.
Victory.
His first-ever win. The curse was broken.
And then… his heart stopped.
When he opened his eyes, he wasn’t in Germany anymore.
He was in a run-down office with peeling wallpaper and a broken desk. His hands were thinner. His face was different.
A small nameplate sat in front of him:
Jake Wilson – Head Coach, Bradford FC (Fourth-Tier League)
Before he could even process what had happened, a glowing screen appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! The Coaching System Has Activated!]
Now, armed with a system that grants real-time tactical analysis, scouting reports, player growth insights, and legendary tactics, Ethan—now Jake—has a second chance.
From a forgotten, unknown club to the top of world football—can he use the system to become the greatest coach in history?
He was once the most mocked coach in the world.
Now, he will become unstoppable.
Because this time… he refuses to lose.

Okay shameless Author review, I should have done this since but I was scared the book would flop hahah. Anyways I am giving this book a 5 star because of the comments and support I’ve been getting from the readers and I really appreciate that. Even with the errors and mistakes that they point out they still continue to read. And I would love to say thanks to everyone reading this book 🫂
the first chapters are weird but the last chapters are good ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Is he going to coach only one club (Bradford)???
Very good, love the MC character and everything about the novel. You novel is second after the greatest of all time novel in football novel.
what season is the mc in and are there gonna be real players in the future. other than that its a good novel up to now
although the part where he was a coach for 10 years never won a match and was still coaching is kinda impossible to happen, it's just a small part in the novel mentioned about 3 times so don't judge this whole novel from this part it may be kinda shit part but i really like what came after it, the system is amzaing, the mc is good i like that he started on a very weak team and is building it up, i like the tactics, i like the way he dealt with the team in the beginning etc, the only thing i don't like is that the team grew too fast, where I'm at right now the match with Chelsea ended up 3-4 for Chelsea i would like it if the result ended 1-3 for Chelsea i know it's a novel and it's not supposed to be real but i can't help but feel like they should have taken about untill the start of the next season to do something like this if not more otherwise it's good i like the journey untill now i would rate it as 6.8/10
enjoying reading the story happy to continue to follow the story
Its a fun story, but the system ruins it. He's too reliant on the system as it gives him everything he needs and he constantly follows its suggestions. It tells him what formations they should use, however to play, what players to invest in and so on. It really feels dull since the protagonist could be anyone who follows the systems advice blindly.
Very good, I like this novel, I especially like the MC's attitude and character. Continue your work, author. I recommend it to those looking for a sports-based novel, especially when the MC is a coach.
Everything was good until the reveal that other people had systems. Kinda just loses the spark :/
Is there any romance? If so is it single fl or harem?
Great story so far. Just going to advise the people to be patient in the beginning and then you'll love it.
Overall it is great at for me as mentioned this is one my favor types of novel to read so my expectations where we'll place and I can't wait to read more
Hey guys, thanks again for the support! I just realized I made a mistake—Bradford is in the fourth tier (League Two of the English league) and is trying to qualify for the third tier (League One) And they are not in the fifth tier (National League).
the start was good, but the system is too overpowered it gives everything ,there isn't much to do for the mc. The mc character is too plain, just avg sigma cold mc no emotions, I don't feel anything about him while reading it no happiness no pain because i don't have love for him and he didn't do much hard work everything was done by the system mostly. The football matches writing is boring I just skip it most of the time , there's nothing interesting to read just plain simple commentary. And the most irritating and cringe thing is there's these sentences "No arrogance. No big promises. Just the truth" "No wild celebrations. No over-the-top reactions. just pure executions" like these type sentences in every chapter 2-3 times bro is like pointing out "see how sigma my mc is" and there's this too "we are not here to play, we are here to win" or "we are not here to win, we are here to dominate " like tf😭😭🙏 bro . it's like reading story with 14yo child comments mixed. why can't you describe in normal words. if you want to mention some things mention it as mc's thoughts not as your own commentary on story which is so cringe. So it's just a plain and cringe story with plain matches and plain characters I have no attachments to any characters. I was excited at the start but it's so bad now.
