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.

April 2024 Matches – A Nightmare Run Begins

Jake Wilson had never felt this kind of helplessness before.

For months, he had been the architect of Bradford's rise, crafting a team that played fast, ruthless, intelligent football. A team that out-thought and outworked its opponents. A team that had turned doubters into believers.

Now, his squad was broken, both physically and mentally.

With key players missing, Jake had tried everything—tactical adjustments, rotations, even simplifying their approach. But it didn't matter. The reality was harsh: no system in the world could replace the quality they had lost.

And now, that truth was playing out in front of him in the worst way possible.

The match against third-place Exeter City was supposed to be a battle for automatic promotion. Instead, it turned into a lesson in survival.
