Strangest international boss?

So england have a new boss in 2020 dave jones was cardiff boss before i took his place.

Now i'm a bluebirds fan and no disrespect to DJ but seriously?

Anyone else find a few weird international bosses?

Fábio Aurélio, after retiring and finishing with 0 caps for Brazil becomes the Brazil manager at the age of 35 with no previous managerial experience

Current England manager for me is Chris Riggott!

This is in 2021, and i have to say he's done a pretty damn good job winning the Euros and kept England no.1 in the rankings for the majority of his 3 year reign

i think some choices are random

there should be more focus on this, a little more realism maybe.

r carlos brazil legend in 2014 !

not strange coz his stat is fantastic for a manager

In one of my long term games Andrew Driver got the England job less than a month after retiring as a player and before managing any clubs.

Is it just me or do too many former players get international jobs without any experience? On my save Malouda got the French job and Lampard got the England job as their first jobs. I think there were others but i can't think of them at the moment. I know it does happen in real life occasionally but seems a little too frequent on FM.

In my current game Peter Crouch got the england job a month after he retired as a player. No previous management job at all, straight from playing to england manager lol

crouch is a good choice.

he "oversees" his squad

Dunga, Maradona.

I've noticed a few strange choices for Brazil, also I've found they change their manager alot! In one old long-term save I actually became their boss, I was the fifth that year taking over before the final of the Copa America against Argentina... glad I won or they'd have been looking for a sixth!

In a previous save game I had a brief stint as Brazil manager. I qualified for the copa america, once it started i won the 1st game easily, then drew the second game with peru or someone similar then got sacked lol, needless to say brazil went on to win it but without me at the helm. A bit harsh I thought at the time really

brazil want to win ALL the games they play

brazil want to win ALL the games they play

I got sacked on FM09 for losing in the Semi's of some tournament. Think it was called Copa America.

Brazil historically sack managers on a legendarily regular basis.

See this period for an example:

Mário Zagallo (1995–1998)

Vanderlei Luxemburgo (1998–2000)

Émerson Leão (2000–2001)

Luiz Felipe Scolari - 2002 FIFA World Cup (2001–2002)

Carlos Alberto Parreira (2002–2006)

So between the start of 98 and end of 02, Zagallo, Luxembergo, Leao, Scolari and Parreira all managed the team. And none of them were caretakers

Nations only tend to appoint managers from their own country. There have been times when i have applied for jobs at places like Holland having won the league and conquered Europe, only to lose out to some dutch guy ive never heard of.

Sam Allardyce was Englands last manager for me. He dropped Wayne Rooney for his euro championships squad

I am actually the current Brazil manager on my current game, where I'm Arsenal manager and it's the 2015-16 season (also managed: LA Galaxy, Uruguay, Middlesbrough, England Under 21s, Colorado Rapids. Not my most loyal game, if I'm honest)
