Football Manager 2017: 20 Best Assistant Managers

7. Steffen Freund

Football Manager 2017
SI Games

Age: 46.

Club: Tottenham Hotspur.

Key Stats: 18 Determination, Level of Discipline, and Motivating.

Steffen Freund has a pretty sweet deal at Tottenham Hotspur, a team he played for from 1998 to 2003. He's paid a decent wedge (£7.5k p/w) to perform simple scouting duties at Spurs, but with Judging Player Ability and Potential stats of just 13 and 14 respectively, this is far from his best role.

In terms of attributes, Freund is a harsh taskmaster. He's the kind of guy you turn loose when your under-performing millionaires need a boot up the backside, and few assistants are more adept at riling-up the dressing room than Freud.
