Mr_Raiden

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 (Fifth-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.

The Coaching System

The defeat to Chelsea still lingered in the air.

Bradford had come within minutes of forcing extra time against a Premier League giant. They had led 2-0, fought back to 3-3, and then lost it all in the dying seconds.

For Jake Wilson, that match wasn't just a near-upset.

Proof that his team could fight at the highest level.

But the world of football was ruthless—there was no time to dwell.

League Two was still in full swing. The FA Cup third-round tie against Manchester City loomed. And if Bradford wanted to continue their incredible season, they had to move forward.

Post-Chelsea: The Team's Mentality

At training the next day, Jake saw it immediately.

Carter looked frustrated. Ortega barely spoke. Even Novak, usually the loudest on the pitch, trained in silence.
