In This Life I Became a Coach

Mr_Raiden
Demien Walter was a forgotten name in football. A journeyman midfielder with no trophies, no fame—just bruises, broken dreams, and a clipboard full of tactics. On the day he was meant to start his first coaching job in France’s third division, a fatal car crash ended everything. Or so he thought. He wakes up in 2003, in the body of Yves Laurent—head coach of AS Monaco. A club about to shock Europe. A team full of raw potential. And a world of football history still waiting to be written. Armed with tactical knowledge from the future, Demien isn't here to play the same game twice. He’s here to change it. With real players, real clubs, and real competitions—Demien’s journey will take him from Monaco to AC Milan, Real Madrid, the German national team, and eventually Manchester United. No cheat. No system. No magic. Just football—rewritten from the sidelines.

But when an early position switch forces him to adapt to life as a left-back, Femi must confront his doubts, fears, and the weight of expectation. Under the mentorship of former Dutch legend Lars de Groot and the tactical guidance of Coach Bakker, he begins a difficult transformation—from a flair player into a disciplined, intelligent modern defender. As Ajax U-23 enters the national championship, Femi battles internal rivals like the fiery Josip Van der Berg, and external threats like Elias Rikken, a genius striker from Heerenveen. Each match tests Femi’s resilience and self-belief, especially the dramatic extra-time semifinal win over PSV and the grueling final against Heerenveen, where Ajax clinches victory through grit, strategy, and teamwork. Amid celebrations and growth, Femi faces a bittersweet farewell with Lars, who departs for Barcelona. But just as one chapter closes, another begins. Ajax is selected for the prestigious European Football Federation U-23 Championship in Spain—a tournament featuring the top academies across Europe. Femi’s journey from the sidelines to the spotlight is one of growth, grit, and destiny—proof that even when pushed out of position, true greatness finds its way. Story is completely football based and will rarely deviate from that concept
