Touchline Rebirth: From Game To Glory
Nicholas Marjan, known as Niels, was an Asian football-obsessed loner in the modern world. A master of FIFA Career Mode, addicted to YouTube tactics videos, and followed every twist of the transfer window like it was life or death, he lived the beautiful game from behind a screen.
Until the day he died.
And woke up in the late 2000s, in the body of a once-promising young player at a lower-league English club. A player whose career had been cut short by a brutal ACL injury. With his playing career over before it could truly begin, his second life offers no glory on the pitch.
But Niels still has one weapon: his mind.
Armed with future knowledge of football's evolution, and guided by a mysterious, almost cheat-like instinct for scouting raw talent, Niels steps into the world of coaching. As an assistant at a struggling lower-league club, he begins to reshape the team from within challenging outdated tactics, unearthing hidden gems, and reigniting hope in the dressing room.
His methods are unorthodox. His instincts, uncanny. And soon, whispers about the "young coach with a gift" begin to spread.
This isn’t the story of a player chasing glory. It’s about someone reborn to change the game from the sidelines. From forgotten training grounds to Europe’s biggest stages, Niels is on a mission,
not just to win, but to rewrite what it means to lead.
He once dreamed of lifting trophies as a player.
Now, he'll do it as a coach.
Hi! Author here, It’s been about a month since I published my first-ever novel, Touchline Rebirth: From Game to Glory! Fun fact, it was actually rejected at first, but I didn’t give up. I made some changes, kept writing, and here we are. This story isn’t just about football it’s about strategy, passion, setbacks, and comebacks. Our MC, Niels, isn’t on the field scoring goals, he’s on the sidelines, building something bigger as a coach. The pacing might not be perfect (still working on it!), but I’ve tried to make the story as engaging as I can. Thanks so much for the support so far! Feel free to treat this as a Q&A section, drop any questions, feedback, or thoughts below!
If you are a football fan, you will definitely enjoy this novel! Keep going brother💪🔥
I really love the story. However, i was surprised and a bit disappointed when the you started over again. I hope it will continue without any problem, Best of luck and it has a great potential and deserves to be seen through the end
I really love this book. But need more chapters author
It looks promising, i just hope you don't drop this novel and best of luck
Just finished the first volume, and I'm really impressed. Rather than the usual story with player aiming to become a best player, this story follows a former prodigy who takes a different path, stepping into coaching. His bond with Coach Milan is heartfelt and I'm excited to see where his coaching journey goes. Cheers 🥂🔥
This is a very good story, it grabbed my attention right away. I really have high hopes for this one. just hoping the author sticks with it, because it'd be a real shame if it got dropped.
I am loving this novel so far very good has good potential and different than most of the novels with player mc but here mc is a coach... Waiting for more chapters
Great story. Keep up the good work. Waiting for more chapters 🔥💯💯💯
Great start as a fellow football author i truly loved it. Hope to see more chapters coming soon. If you have the time check out my web novel: The Football Coaching System. I thank the author for the opportunity to enjoy this novel written by him.
Pretty solid start! The story grabbed me early on, and i like the direction it's heading. it got potential for sure but few parts feels a bit rushed, and i wish that players had a bit more depth and backstory, and some scenes didn't hit as hard as they could've. Still, I'm sticking into it and hoping the author keeps going and update daily.
I love football so thats why i read this story and i loved it. Ill loved the world building and the storytelling. Love the mc aswell
I didn't expect to enjoy this book. It's really fun to read and kinda addicting. My only complain is that updates are really slow! still worth the wait i guess. 10/10 would recommend this
Wow. Such a big fan of football and I honestly recommend this. Kinda reminds me of manager system. It's well defined and player dynamics are really good. Keep up
The story so far has been really interesting, characters are well developed. Plot well thought of, word count has also been pretty consistent. Well, looking forward to more of it!
