Let’s take a look at who are the best assistant managers in Football Manager 2021. The top 150 assistant managers shortlist for FM21.
Here is the best 150 assistant managers shortlist for FM 21 that you should definitely try to sign for your club.
One of the jobs of the assistant manager is to provide you with summaries of the players of your team as well as your rivals. The assistant manager can additionally go to the press conferences, tunnel interviews or even arrange friendly matches during your pre-seasons in FM 2021.
Your assistant manager can also manage the team for you in the friendlies, giving team-talks and give your players pre-match instructions on opposition players.
An assistant manager may also be responsible for the training section in the various teams (A, U19, Reserves / B).
When hiring the right person for the job of your assistant manager, you should primarily look at three attributes.
Good Assistant Manager should have good or excellent;
- Determination
- Level of Discipline
- Motivation
By default Football Manager highlights these three attributes; Man Management, Judging Player Potential and Judging Player Ability.
But in all honesty, these three attributes better suit the role of Director of Football than your FM 21 assistant manager.
If you plan from your assistant to carry out training, then you should also look at his coaching attributes. But we’ll leave these aside for our list, and focus primarily on the three attributes mentioned above.
Also, if you’d like for your assistant manager to help you with tactics or to set up opposition instructions, then include Tactical Knowledge and Judging Player Ability to your search.
Lastly, consider including Adaptability if he is not from the nation you’re currently managing.
There is a bunch of superb assistant managers in FM 2021, but not many will be willing to sign for your club at the start of the game.
This unwillingness can be due to that they just signed for a club or a nation and are unwilling to make an immediate move to other position, or simple they're not interested in your low rep club.
FM21 Assistant Managers Shortlist Criteria;
- Must have potential ability 150 or higher
- Prefered job must be of an assistant manager
