Age: 52.
Club: Free Agent.
Key Stats: 18 Level of Discipline, 17 Man Management, Judging Payer Potential, and Motivating.
There's absolutely no reason why Brian McClair should be this good. The guy hasn't worked as an Assistant Manager since leaving Blackburn in 1999, and his last club role came as Manchester United's Head of Youth Development. He's now a free agent after leaving the Scottish national side, and with stats like these, who could possibly say no?
McClair's looking for a managerial role, but he's open to negotiating an assistant's position for the right deal. If you can't afford our number one option, then McClair should be next on your list.
