FM26 Best Assistant Managers Shortlist

FM26 Assistant Managers shortlist with live search, wage bands and a free agents filter. Copy names in one click and upgrade your backroom.

Build a backroom team you can trust. This FM26 assistant manager shortlist helps you compare staff by quality, cost and the work you want to delegate. Search by name, nationality or club, explore candidates without a club, and compare two people before opening their full Database profiles.

Who should you hire as your FM26 assistant manager?

Start with the tasks you want help with. Compare tactical knowledge for tactical support, people management and motivating for squad management, and judging ability and potential for player assessment. Then inspect the full coaching attributes, preferences and contract in your save. A high overall rating is a starting point for that decision.

The original shortlist selected candidates using a 130+ in-game Current Ability criterion. Its selection includes coaches, managers and recruitment staff as well as current assistant managers. The Current job column shows the Database role; it does not guarantee willingness or suitability to accept a new role.

ABI is FMB Ability and POT is FMB Potential. The badges and comparison attributes use the FM Blog 1–99 scale. They are not raw in-game CA, PA or 1–20 attributes.

Ability is a general staff rating, not a dedicated assistant manager score. Compare the individual attributes that support your planned responsibilities. How FMB ratings work →

Club, job, age, ratings and wage come from the FM26 Database. The figures describe its game data and can differ from your save. Listed wages are current wages, not salary demands. Candidates without a club have no current club wage to compare; their next contract still needs to be negotiated.

FM26 assistant managers: frequently asked questions

Are all these candidates currently assistant managers?

No. The original shortlist includes several staff roles. Use the current-job filter for people listed as assistant managers, or keep all jobs visible to explore other candidates. Check role interest in your own save.

Are the wages guaranteed salary demands?

No. The wage column records the Database current wage. A new contract can cost more or less, and employed staff may require compensation. The yearly view multiplies a weekly wage by 52; the wage bands and CSV always use weekly figures.

Does without a club mean free to hire?

It means no club is listed for that staff member in the Database. Check their availability, interest and requested contract in your save. Their next wage is not zero simply because no current club wage is listed.

How does the comparison work?

Tick two names in the table. Your selection remains in the comparison when you search, switch views or change filters. It compares FMB ratings, six staff attributes, the current job, age, contract and listed wage. Equal scores are labelled equal; an unknown wage does not win a cost comparison.

Can I sort by a specific staff attribute?

Yes. Open More filters and sorting and select tactical knowledge, people management, motivating, determination, judging ability or judging potential. To inspect those values together, select two candidates or open a full staff profile.

Why do some names or clubs differ from my original shortlist?

The linked rows use their matching Database records and the same real-name mapping as the Database. Search also includes original names and club aliases. Game updates and saves can contain different clubs, jobs or contracts.

Will this shortlist update itself?

This article contains a prepared set of Database records. It does not fetch live staff data when a reader filters the tables. Open the linked profiles for the Database view and verify the final appointment in your save.
