I don't think he was asking that. He said

(e.g youth trainer and nutritionist)

And about this...

I would wait for clarification.

The answer is no. The secondary staff will work as main staff. One per kind...

Hello,

First I want to support the proposed idea (the more choices and tactics will be numerous, the more interesting the game will be) so congratulations for that... (y)
Small criticism on the launch before the playoffs without warning before ... :/
2 clarifications to be sure to understand:
- Youth trainer: taking the example of "Inside defense" it just boosts the training of 3 players trained as long as they are 18 or 19 years old or can we train 3 players (for example 24, 25 and 26 years) + 3 players aged 18 and 19 at the same time?
- Sport Psychologist: Taking the correct minutes, I currently almost always have level 9 for all the players of my team ... Does not having this type of staff will reduce this current form (level 9) - Can we go beyond (level 10,11, ...) or is it just for the one who did not manage the minutes well (so he stays at level 9)

Thank you in advance for your answers :)

First of all, thank you all for your contributions to the discussion. The critique and praise both have been a good read, but now after the first training has run (and in the future after more trainings do too) you'll have a better feel for the real effect of the new staff. I'll wait for that to happen, keep an eye on the discussion here and, as I said, up the feature "denomination" from minor to major.

Some more specific answers follow:

@khenry: The boost is only applied to players playing at the correct training positions and if they are 18 or 19 yo.

@LA-King Leonidas: You're right, the hire button should be visible until you have all 6 covered. Made the change now.

@Bass: I can see both the main trainer and the youth trainer. Is there still a bug?

@mark lenders: Yeah they stack but their combined effect is reduced.

@barba & kingK: this is just a display bug, you're not supposed to be able to hire internally the secondary staff. If you clicked the button you'd notice that only the essential staff members can be hired internally.

@Ubiond: fixed the specialty issue now.

@ychonodou: youth trainer just boosts the training of 3 players trained as long as they are 18 or 19 years old and as for the sports psychologist - it is for the ones who did not manage the minutes well or a random factor would bring the GS down (so he stays at level 9 if maxed).

I don't think you understand how the massage specialty works. Here's a section about it from the manual:
"Massage: Players who play too many minutes in a given week will not experience as severe a drop in game shape."

You were probably talking about the Fitness specialist ("Fitness: The magnitude of the Stamina drops experienced by your players is decreased."), who can be combined with a nutritionist. The combined effect is not exactly simply added together, rather their combined effect is less than that. How much? You need to figure that out for yourself.

Did anybody with Nutritionist observe a stamina increase?

It all looks very interesting and adding options and new factors to the game is always a good thing. I am looking foward to using them, especially the Youth Trainer since I do extensive scouting and my first draft pick is usually suitable for either the srating 5 or the regular substitutes from the start of the season but I have to ignore the team's needs in order to train him to youth NT level or for a high value sale.

One improvement I can see neccessary from even now is the option to "Hire Internaly" just like the main staff.
