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.

EFL Cup Second Round – August 27th, 2024

Valley Parade, Bradford

The lights at Valley Parade shone brighter than ever. The air buzzed with anticipation. Bradford City had faced Premier League opposition before, but tonight felt different.

This wasn't about proving they belonged.

This was about proving they could win.

On the other side stood Fulham—established, experienced, and expected to dominate. But expectations meant nothing once the whistle blew.

For Jake Wilson, it wasn't just about facing a top-flight club. It was about facing a former player—Saidi. The defender he once trusted to lead Bradford's backline.

Jake adjusted his jacket and glanced toward the tunnel.

This was a battle. And he had every intention of winning it.
