Staff

Staff record

staff is the non-playing subtype of person: people this export decoded as staff rather than as players. It is only one of the three places a career can live. Plenty of well-known managers have no staff row at all — some are stored as players, and many sit in person_unclassified, whose subtype the decoder could not determine. Whichever table a person is in, their jobs come from staff_history joined to job_type, which is the table below.

Ability and the three reputations are the raw game figures, which run to roughly 200 rather than to 20 — they are printed exactly as stored and nothing is converted. coaching_qualification is a badge level with no lookup table in the export, so it is shown as the stored number and no name is invented for it.

Football Manager's own game-start calculations from the attributes above, ported from the game's rules by the enriched overlay (method in each value's tooltip). Coaching scores use the game's FM22 training categories applied to every release and leave out the secondary-job and injury reductions; a dash is a value the rule had no input for, and board members have no reputation label.

Career spells

Marked current: 2 of 5 spells. A spell counts as current when date_left is empty or falls in the future — the source records plenty of long-finished spells with no end date, so more than one spell can carry the mark.
