He died forgotten. He woke up legendary.

Demien Walter was a nobody — a failed midfielder, a footnote in football history. Until the day a rainy road ended his life… and a second chance began.

2003. He opens his eyes in a new body — Yves Laurent, head coach of AS Monaco. Twenty-nine years old. Unproven. But now holding a weapon no one else has:

Twenty years of future football knowledge.

He knows who will rise. Who will fall. Which talents to trust. Which tactics will dominate the world stage. Champions League shocks, golden generations, tactical revolutions — he's lived through it all.

No cheat system. No magic. Just memory.

With Monaco as his launchpad, Demien doesn’t just want revenge against time — he wants to reshape football’s entire future. One match at a time.

From training ground to touchline, from youth players to superstars, he’ll outthink, outfight, and outcoach everyone in his path.

Because this time, he’s not just chasing glory.

He’s rewriting football history.

In This Life I Became a Coach

"Valenciennes won't care about Lyon," Michel remarked as he reviewed the upcoming cup opponents. The assistant coach spread video stills across the tactical table while players filtered into the team meeting room. Their faces reflected the weight of Saturday's defeat, but professional footballers quickly learned to compartmentalize their emotions. Cup football required a different mindset altogether.

Yves examined images of Valenciennes players warming up before their last match. The League Two opponents were fueled by dangerous motivation—ninety minutes against Monaco represented their most significant season opportunity. There was no pressure; they had everything to gain.

"What formation are they likely to use?" Michel asked, highlighting their expected setup.

"They'll likely employ a four-four-two defensive block. They'll sit deep, stay compact, and look for set pieces and quick breaks," Yves replied.
