# Swapping staff jobs

> Documentation release: **FMRTE 27** (published release).

## Swap two staff jobs

1. Open **Swap Staff** on the first person.
2. In the **Swap Staff** box, search beside **With** for the second person.
3. Under **Roles to swap**, choose **Swap club**, **Swap nation**, or both.
4. Check both jobs and read **Notes**. Staff generally need the same job, or one must be a free agent.
5. Save, look for **Jobs swapped successfully**, and check both people in Football Manager.

On Windows, a club swap also moves your club's scouting assignments to the person who takes the job.

Human managers don't have a **Swap Staff** tab. To move yours, see [Move to another club or national team](https://docs.fmrte.com/staff-and-managers/your-manager.md#move-to-another-club-or-national-team).

## Move a coach from reserves to the first team

Changing Coach or Assistant Manager attributes does not move someone into that job. Use Football Manager's job or contract options where available.

Direct reassignment and arbitrary job changes are not confirmed here. If using **Swap Staff**, follow its job-compatibility checks, an incompatible swap is not fixed by raising attributes.

## Change only a national-team job

Select **Swap nation** and clear **Swap club**, then check **Notes** before saving. This exchanges eligible national jobs, it is not a standalone contract-termination action.
