hozhoz Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Anyone finding it extremely hard to get a job, even at tiny nations? I've applied for every national job that has become available, from Algeria to Brazil but got none. I am currently managing in League 2, having promoted my team from the Blue Square North. I did not expect to get any top jobs but thought I may have a chance at Algeria, ranked in the 100s. I have got a regional reputation, just wondering what factors there are for choosing coaches, is it only your reputation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackje Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'm not surprised, really unless you're of the nationality of a very small team there is almost certainly a better known more qualified manager than someone in the 4th tier of English football. A job like Algeria means managing a team in top quarter of african football expected to push for world cup qualification and featuring players from the top leagues of England, France and Germany especially. A league 2 manager just is not qualified for this so its not a surprise you get nothing. Say you had set your nationality to Guyanan you may well be the best man for the job.

Seriously though have you considered starting a new game and jumping straight in as an international manager. I used to do this with FM2009.[/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLatics Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I always start as Kazakhstan, and then go to England when I get bored of waiting 90 days between games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I always start as Kazakhstan, and then go to England when I get bored of waiting 90 days between games! I think the wait between games is the one big problem with managing an International team. You could also I believe take control of a club side as well as the International team at the same time. This should help with the boredom of waiting for the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remco Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I started unemployed and within a day, I was offered a club job and became national manager at Jordan. I have an automatic reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
