Looking to add one of the FM24 best coaches to your backroom staff? It’s time to load up Football Manager 2024 and get started in yet another year of managerial ups and downs. 

Now that the FM24 release date is almost upon us, our search for this year’s FM24 wonderkids can begin. We have been lucky enough to play the game already thanks to FM24 early access, so we have an idea of who to keep an eye on.

For starters though, make sure to hire the right backroom staff. Take a look at the best coaches in Football Manager 2024 below.

FM24 best coaches

Whilst bringing in the right players is key to success in Football Manager, it’s equally as vital to build a world-class coaching staff around your team.

With that in mind, we want to showcase some of the best coaching talents you can recruit in this year’s game, with all of these guys out of a job and available to hire immediately. 

What’s more? There are also some names on this list that you may recognise…

Mark Warburton

A manager who is well known for his success at Brentford, Warburton has transitioned into a coaching role and is easily one of the standout choices available in Football Manager 2024.

The perfect coach is someone who can tick all the boxes, boasting a great range of stats across the key areas. 

Warburton is exactly that, with the 61-year-old most recently completing his contract with West Ham as David Moyes’ assistant. 

A man who has a clear footballing philosophy, Warburton is a great option for any top-flight club. 

Gianluca Conte

Brother to the more famous member of the Conte family, Antonio, Gianluca is a more than capable coach who has worked at clubs like Tottenham, Inter and Chelsea.

Labeled as a technical coach, Conte can cover a number of different areas, quickly becoming a key asset for your team in Football Manager 2024. 

Whilst brother Antonio’s stock may have fallen after his time with Spurs, Gianluca shouldn’t be tarred with the same brush.

That being said, you’d have to keep a close eye on when Antonio gets a new job, just in case he tries to get the band back together. Conte will certainly be one of the FM24 best coaches.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

No, we’re not joking. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is available to hire as a coach in Football Manager 2024 following his retirement in the summer.

Not the most modest of individuals, the Swede is looking for his first role in the world of coaching and you could be the manager that gives him that chance. 

Untested and slightly raw, something reflected in his stats, Zlatan isn’t going to be the best coach in the world straight off the bat. 

That being said, Football Manager is all about giving legends a chance. We think you should be all over this option, you never know the impact it could have. He could just be the best coach in FM24.

Ferran Reverter

A differential choice without the background to match. Former Barcelona CFO Ferran Reverter can be hired as a coach in Football Manager 2024.

Reverter resigned from his role at Barcelona in 2022 and has been looking for a new job since. 

Available as a coach in FM24, Reverter possesses a good mix of stats that could result in an immediate impact in this year’s game. 

With his Spanish heritage, you can be certain that Reverter knows a thing or two about developing world class talent. 

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is a man who needs no introduction. His playing career speaks for itself and his coaching career is starting to catch up. 

After a few spells with Burton, Hasselbaink looks to have called time on his managerial career, instead transitioning into coaching. 

Recently starting a coaching role with England, Hasselbaink is available to bring in due to his vacancy at club level. 

If he’s good enough for England, then he should be more than good enough to have an instant impact for your team in Football Manager 2024.
