As you would expect in Football Manager 2008 (Worldwide Soccer Manager) different coaches need different coaching attributes depending on what they are coaching. It’s important though that you consider certain attributes when picking your coaches.
Here is a quick breakdown of what yousshould be looking for.
General Coaches
Adaptability – key if the coach is coming from abroad
Motivating - the coach will motivate players better in training
Level of Discipline – making sure your players stay on task and focused during training
Working with Youngsters – a necessity for youth coaches
Man Handling – your coach will handle player’s personalities better
Scouts
Adaptability – key if the scout is coming from abroad, but it will also help scouts knowledge increase quicker if he scouting in a foreign country.
Determination – scouts will be more determined to find more players
Tactical Knowledge – important if your scout is ‘scouting next opposition
Physios
Physiotherapy – obviously the physio would be useless without this
Level of Discipline – making sure players do not slack off when they are injured
Motivating – he will be able to motivate players to return from injury as soon as possible
Man Handling – physios who can handle players better, will be able to help them return quicker
Assistant Managers
Judging Player Ability – this will ensure you get better teams reports
Tactical Knowledge – important if he is in charge of your reserve team
Working with Youngsters – important if he is in charge of your u18 team
Man Handling – he will give you better advice on decisions you have to make when handling problems with your players
Motivating + Level Discipline – he will give you better advice on team-talks

How do you increase "Hands on Approach" and "Determination" ratings of the head coach that you play as?

All ambiguated by you. You have no idea what those stats actually influence.
Complete speculation.

Maybe comment that a scout is useless without judging player ability and/or potential, if youre going to use him for more than finding players…

This is quality, thanks alot! Love the training guide too!
Any chance we can have a tactics guide? A breakdown of all the sliders and their effects would be great, as well as some info on best formations and types of players to use in various positions would be mint!
Thanks again!
