Someone appears to have misunderstood exactly what this means. Setting a person to "Retired Person" strips out all data about that person apart from a name and an ID. They are in the game by name, nothing more. Setting Michael Carrick and Per Mertesacker to this does not make them staff members, it gets rid of all of their data which is why they don't appear in-game in their correct roles.

This person type should only be set on people who have retired from football completely and have no active participation in football anyway. You should be using the person type "Non-Player" for players who retire and go into coaching/management.

I agree - this seems to happen a lot for some reason on here - I don’t think we should ‘retire’ players who have staff roles in game and have become purely a ‘staff’ member. Just change their particular role at the club to a staff role, otherwise if they are ‘retired’ they are missing from the game completely.

A few other examples include, Johnie Jackson, Grant Holt, Chris Cohen...

You can’t really have two assistant coaches - I’d suggest setting salgado as a first team coach - I don’t think he needs sacking from club job either as that was as an owner.

As a player yes, not from football entirely. He's working as a first team coach for Man Utd

He doesn’t have a staff profile in game currently- I have asked @SirTAVARES to add this in his extra file.

Yeah, but I am waiting for the new one. Lots of changes were posted, and I need one without Buffon's retirement.
