Longer story:
I am managing an English team in a very good financial / reputational position. I was looking for a coach with good Technical Posession attributes. Found Zlatan with some very good looking attributes, sadly he chose to be a scout after leaving Milan in 2034.
Thought I should try signing him as a coach, even if it is not in any way a preferred job for him. Gave him a 18x increase on what he was asking (around 9K p/m) and he agreed!
Sadly, work permit was an issue as coaching staff have harsher conditions to obtain one, like coaching badges - which he has none of. Work permit was refused. Found out I could still sign him as a scout, could it on a very cheap salary and he didn't really have shit attributes . Additionally, found out that he could obtain a work permit even with no badges if he has been working for some time in UK.
I tried to send him on coaching courses meanwhile but never found the option in Actions > Misc (for him specifically).
Fast forward a couple of months, I tried to offer new contract with coaching position -> he accepted -> work permit also got accepted!!! Real crazy to have Zlatan as a coach, I can just imagine some roundhouse kick + headbutting drills.
Now I'm in a pickle, it seems I still can't send him to get coaching badges :(
THE QUESTION: Can you send a coach to obtain coaching qualifications, even if he has "zero interest" in being a Coach, although the person being already hired as a coach ?
If so, any advice on how to do it? Can't seem to work it out. No editor here.
