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 floodlights glowed over Valley Parade as the players stepped onto the pitch.

A cup match under the lights—the start of another journey.

Jake Wilson stood on the touchline, arms crossed, watching his squad warm up.

A competition where lower-league clubs had the chance to test themselves against the elite.

It was a chance to build momentum.

The message to his team was clear.

"We don't ease into this. We don't give them hope. We set the tone from the first whistle."

Bradford wasn't here to just participate.

Jake Wilson knew how to approach cup competitions.

Rotation was necessary, but momentum mattered more.
