Some of FM 2017's best Assistant Managers are lurking in the shadows far away from the game's biggest clubs. Lower league veteran Kevin Summerfield is a perfect example, and his low starting wages and reputation make him a great option for any club.

He's not the greatest coach in the world, but Summerfield excels in every other department. Provided you're managing in your country's top tier, acquiring his tremendous skillset should be relatively straightforward.
