In This Life I Became a Coach

Demien Walter was a forgotten name in football.

A journeyman midfielder with no trophies, no fame—just bruises, broken dreams, and a clipboard full of tactics.



On the day he was meant to start his first coaching job in France’s third division, a fatal car crash ended everything.



Or so he thought.



He wakes up in 2003, in the body of Yves Laurent—head coach of AS Monaco. A club about to shock Europe. A team full of raw potential. And a world of football history still waiting to be written.



Armed with tactical knowledge from the future, Demien isn't here to play the same game twice.



He’s here to change it.



With real players, real clubs, and real competitions—Demien’s journey will take him from Monaco to AC Milan, Real Madrid, the German national team, and eventually Manchester United.



No cheat. No system. No magic.

Just football—rewritten from the sidelines.
