When Your Platform Is so Good, Head Coaches Talk About It for You

Head coaches do not usually talk about their analysis software. They talk about results, about players, about the next game. So when two head coaches, in two leagues that could not be more different, start crediting the same platform in public, it is worth asking why.

One coaches in the Swiss Super League. The other in the Saudi Pro League. Different continents, different budgets, different football. The thing they share is simple: both finally found a way to measure the football they actually coach, and both said so out loud.

Enrico Maaßen, FC St. Gallen

In a pre-game press conference this season, the St. Gallen head coach was asked about his preparation. His answer was about us.

We have been using MyGamePlan to feed in our principles, and after every game I can measure and watch how we have implemented our plan on the pitch.

That sentence is the whole product, in a coach's own words. He defines the principles. He plays the game. Then he checks, on video and in the numbers, whether the plan actually showed up. Not generic stats off a dashboard, his principles.

And the season backed it up. St. Gallen finished eighth in 2024/25. This year they finished second, qualified for Europe, and won the Swiss Cup for the first time in 26 years. A jump of six places in a single season, built on a game model the staff could see week after week.

Péricles Chamusca, Al-Taawoun

Thousands of kilometres away, in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Taawoun's head coach reached the same conclusion from a completely different angle.

MyGamePlan showed us Al-Hilal's weak organizational structure. We used it to capitalize on it in the match to earn a point.

This is the opponent side of the same idea. Chamusca did not ask for a generic report on Al-Hilal. He used the platform to find a specific weakness in how one of the league's superpowers was set up, built his preparation around it, and walked away from one of the richest squads in world football with a point.

His season fits the pattern too. In a division where the top places are bought by some of the biggest budgets on the planet, Al-Taawoun finished sixth, the best of every club outside that elite group, climbing the table while taking points off the giants above them.

What they actually have in common

Notice who is doing the talking. Not an analyst, not a video coach. The head coach. The person whose ideas are on the line every weekend.

That is the part that matters. Most tools hand a coach someone else's metrics and ask him to trust them. Maaßen and Chamusca are describing something different: a platform that takes the principles they already believe in, their game model, their read of an opponent, and makes them measurable, on video, every single week. One coach feeding his plan in and checking it on the pitch. One coach hunting a specific weakness and exploiting it. The same engine underneath.

When a coach can finally see his own football in the data, instead of someone else's, he tends to talk about it.

It's football, not statistics

Two head coaches. Two leagues. Two very good seasons. And one shared verdict, given freely, in public, without us asking.

That is the work we do at MyGamePlan. We make the football a coach actually believes in trackable, week by week, with the video moment behind every number. If you want to see your own game model the way Maaßen and Chamusca see theirs, book a demo with MyGamePlan.
