- Good structured book to start from
I found this a good read and certainly gives you a good base to work from.
Well worth any coach from teaching under 14's up to use.

- Its ok for beginners but there is better on the subject
This book covers a few systems and i like how it shows the system used by professional teams.
Diagrams are easy to follow although I think a book called "Soccer: Modern Tactics" is far better than this as it covers more systems & interviews with Lippi, Ancelotti etc.

Im sure most people will be able to learn something from this book. The set plays section is good

- A very well rounded book.
I am I5 and am aspiring to become a football coach so although I did`nt maybe need such a tactical book,at this age, I found this book interesting,informative and such that I learnt about different systems and continetal styles.(In which this had a chapter.)

- A simple and concise manual for coaches starting out
The book is well layed out and develops it's subjects well. First explaining the various systems of play - giving examples of internationally renowned teams that have addopted each system - then adding further coaching tips for each system, for set pieces and for motivational work.

It can be quite simplistic at times, but is ideal for the coach just setting out; who needs to understand the basics, before moving onto more complex ideas and techniques. This is where I felt the book 'hit-the-woodwork' (sorry for the punn) as the authors could have included techniques on one-to-one coaching with the aim of improving a players abilities such as heading, control, passing etc.

The only real minus side for me, was the standard of English, ... Read More:
