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

August 9th, 2024 – One Day Before Kickoff

Jake Wilson stepped into the media room, his entrance met with the familiar clicks of cameras and murmurs of anticipation.

The first press conference of the League One season.

The room was packed—local journalists, national outlets, even a few international reporters curious about Bradford's rise.

But the attention wasn't on Bradford City's title ambitions.

It wasn't on their preseason dominance, their squad depth, or their tactical evolution.

The midfielder Jake had sold last season.

The player who had once worn the captain's armband at Bradford.

The player who had wanted to be the star.

But when Jake arrived at the club, he saw things differently.

Holbrook was talented—but he didn't fit.

He wanted everything built around him.
