Bio: Radegund Nezamas is one of the most succesful club managers currently active in Nerysia, having led FK Zemaita during its years of dominance in the 1570's. Nezamas played for the club as a player, but in his years it was never as succesful as its main northern rival VFB Dinamo. After his player career, he attended the Nerysian football association's coaching university, where all Nerysian managers study all aspects of football coaching for 2 years. Afterwards, he began to coach the FK Zemaita Youth team, but was later appointed as its main coach. He brought the club to dominance, but after a few meagre years, he was signed by VFB Dinamo with a lucrative contract. After the dramatic World Cup in Angiris in 1582, Nezamas was appointed as the new head coach of the national team. He brought the national team a trophy in 1585, the Brigidna Cup, and in 1587 he reached the World Cup final, which Nerysia lost to Severyane. Nezamas then resigned, citing a desire to for a foreign adventure.


Preferred tactic: 4-3-1-2; Nezamas is a typical product of the Nerysian School, where pragmatism and flexibility are encouraged. Nezamas prefers to adapt to his opponents, and tends to adopt a ''wait-and-see'' mentality. His highly organized and disciplined teams keep their guard up, seldomly take high risks, and rather wait for one or two opportunities or mistakes to exploit. He favours a 4-3-1-2 formation because it deploys four central midfielders, helping to maintain ball possession in midfield, while the three defensive midfielders can shield the defenders, with three attacking players looking for opportunities to score. If necessary however, Nezamas will switch to other formations depending on the situation. The means justify the end for Nezamas. Critics have labelled his teams as boring and cynical.

Vision: Nezamas believes the Florinthian team is struggling defensively, but he also believes that this can be overcome through hard work and preparation. He would probably opt for a standard 3-5-2 formation, which has built-in tactical flexibility, being able to both attack and defend in large numbers. Bringing many players into all phases of playing, Nezamas believes, would compensate for any lack in quality that the individual players may have. The back-three defense would also provide more compactness in the central areas, making it easier to defend. It does require practice to learn to operate in a 3-5-2 for the players, but Nezamas is confident that many Florinthian players are sufficiently familiar with that system to make it work for the next big tournament.
