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

July 23rd, 2024 – Preseason Match 3

King Saud University Stadium, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The humid Saudi air hung thick over the King Saud University Stadium, wrapping itself around the players as they jogged onto the pitch. Floodlights beamed down, illuminating the freshly cut grass as the Bradford City squad began their warm-up routines.

There was no nervous energy. No tension.

Just focus. Preparation. Determination.

But this wasn't going to be a game decided by energy or intensity.

This was going to be a game of patience.

They didn't have Ronaldo or Mané leading the attack, waiting to punish the smallest mistake.

They weren't like Rangers, who came out pressing aggressively, trying to impose themselves.

Lens were something else entirely.

Structured. Disciplined. Stubborn.

A team that would sit deep, defend with everything they had, and wait.
