If you want to transfer full control of the team to another coach, you can change the Head Coach (Owner).

🎯 When to change the Head Coach?

End of tenure – you are finishing work with the team and moving to another one.

Delegation – you are handing over primary duties to an assistant or another coach.

Structural changes – there is a reorganization within the club or academy.

Leaving the club – you want the team to remain active in the app after you leave.


⚠️ Consequences of Changing the Head Coach

After transferring the team:

You lose full control over the team.

❌ You can no longer edit basic team data (name, crest).

❌ You cannot delete the team.

❌ You cannot add or remove other coaches.

⚠️ The action is irreversible – the new owner now decides the future of the team.
