Football Manager 2017: 20 Best Assistant Managers

3. German Burgos

Football Manager 2017
SI Games

Age: 47.

Club: Atletico Madrid.

Key Stats: 18 Motivating, 15 Man Management, Determination, Judging Player Ability, and Tactical Knowledge.

You'll do well to pry German Burgos away from Diego Simeone's warm, loving embrace at Atletico, and he's not exactly cheap (£26.5k p/w), but the former Argentina goalkeeper's premium skills more than justify the effort it'll take to acquire him.

Though only two of his stats sit above 15, Burgos is strong across the board. He has no weaknesses, and while he excels as a motivator, Burgos is strong in every aspect of his performance. Whatever duties you choose to hand over to him, you know they'll be in safe hands.
