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.

Pre-Match Atmosphere – A David vs. Goliath Battle

The Etihad Stadium was a fortress. Fifty thousand Manchester City fans filled the air with chants, fully expecting a one-sided demolition.

The energy in the stadium was different. This wasn't a Carabao Cup game against Chelsea. This was a full-strength, treble-winning Manchester City side, the best team in England, playing at home.

Jake stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, watching as his players soaked in the moment. Some looked around in awe; others were laser-focused.

The media had given them no chance.

🗞 "League Two side against Pep Guardiola's machine? This isn't a match, it's an execution." – BBC Sport

His eyes flicked toward Pep Guardiola on the other sideline. The legendary coach stood calm, hands in his pockets, as if this was just another routine match.
