What Should The Future of Coaching Look Like? (2025 MSC Podcast Review)

As we close out 2025, Modern Soccer Coach released the final podcast episode of the year with a simple but important goal:not to look back — but to look forward.

Across the past 12 months, the podcast has traveled through elite environments in Brazil, England, and Italy, spoken with coaches, analysts, and leaders at the highest levels of the game, and explored modern ideas around tactics, player development, and coaching methodology.

One theme kept coming up again and again:

The game is changing — but not always in the ways we think.

Rather than ranking episodes by downloads or views, this end-of-year podcast focuses on three ideas from 2025 that point directly toward the future of soccer.

This episode is not designed to provide final answers. It’s meant to ask better questions.

What should coaching look like in the next decade?How do we balance structure with individuality?What responsibilities do we have as coaches, educators, and leaders?

Those conversations — including disagreement — are what continue to drive Modern Soccers.
