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 (Fourth-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

Rain thinned, but the cold lingered. The lights of Stade de la Meinau glared off the slick surface as the players reemerged. Jake stood a pace ahead of his staff, arms crossed, back straight. The game wasn't lost—not yet. But something had to change.

Behind him, Paul Roberts leaned in. "You sure?"

He'd already made the call in the tunnel.

Mensah stood by the fourth official, his jersey tight, shoulders coiled like a spring. Chapman was off—more brains than legs tonight. This wasn't about dictating the middle. This was about dragging the game open.

From the press box above, the BT Sport commentary buzzed in faint delay.

Michael Johnson: "Two strikers now. Jake's going for it. But that midfield might become no man's land fast."

Ibáñez and Vélez took position as the double pivot. Silva and Roney spread wide, almost to the touchline. Mensah moved into the left channel, Richter to the right. It was aggressive. Bold. Risky.
