Football Manager 2017: 20 Best Assistant Managers

20. Marco Domenichini

Age: 57.

Club: AS Roma.

Key Stats: 16 Tactical Knowledge, 15 Judging Player Ability, 14 Level of Discipline/Man Management.

An expensive choice with his £13,250 p/w starting salary, but a solid all-round option. Marco Domenichini comes with strong statistics across the board, though his close bond with current Roma manager Luciano Spalletti makes him tough to get hold of.

Still, if you ever get the opportunity to snap Domenichini up for little/no compensation, he's more than worthy of your consideration. His only real weaknesses are Fitness and Goalkeeper coaching, and let's be honest, you probably won't be asking your assistant to fill those roles anyway.
