Can young coaches be successful?
Has your club had any young coaches at senior level that have really stood up to the test?.
WUB, how old were you when you won your first flag as coach please? I reckon you'd be up there...

There's really no substitute for experience FC. A young coach can be successful if he's got the B's under a good A grade coach and the club has depth. Outside that he would need to be very very special. Took me 14 years of coaching to get my 1st A grade flag.

The issue is not understanding of the game, it is being able to manage people and for an A grade coach being the figure head of a club.
If the young coach has had experience in their professional lives in teaching/coaching/leadership roles they may be equipped to do it.
Having said that, most coaches no matter their age are rubbish, have little idea about coaching and are just loud passionate supporters.
