If you really like soccer than you'll be into this, otherwise.... eh. An upstart coach takes over a failing pro soccer team in Japan and raises it up. The story and writing are interesting and well done, however it's a sports manga/anime so if you aren't into that particular sport than you're gonna wanna pass on half of it. The angle I was most interested in is it's focus on organizing the players and the strategy of the games; it's nice to not have a single player be the focus of the story. The art is identifiable even if in the anime it doesn't carry over quite as well. As an extra bonus if you want atrocious attempts at engrish voice acting that's been thrown in for good measure.
