KingHaysey Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Just found Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima (That's "Fat" Ronaldo to everybody who doesn't know) at the ripe old age of 38 who's bagged himself a job as a Scout for Wolves! Any one else found a player of such stature with an odd job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbchuz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 In FM11 I had Gianluigi Buffon take over my second division Croatian club as chairman in about 2013. It turned into a very long-term save and I have to say he's one of the best I've ever worked with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWind Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 In FM11 I had Gianluigi Buffon take over my second division Croatian club as chairman in about 2013. It turned into a very long-term save and I have to say he's one of the best I've ever worked with. Weird; I saw Gianluigi Buffon take over Russian second division side Metallurg Lipetsk in my long-term FM11 save. It was very early in the save - about 2012 or so. By the time I retired it in the late 2020s, he was still in charge. Speaking of, Wayne Rooney ended up as a youth coach at Dinamo Moscow in the same save, before eventually joining manager Dimitar Berbatov as a first-team coach at Rubin Kazan.

Oxford_Canary Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've had some strange managerial careers in old games, but the best so far in my current game has to be Rivaldo lighting it up at the age of 40 for Exeter. I only noticed because he broke the record for the oldest player to play in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can continue the Buffon weirdness: Brentford chairman. In the same save, Mario Jardel was manager of Mansfield Town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebs Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 John Terry became a youth coach at Spurs when he finished playing - then he became the manager of Spurs (I was so annoyed cos I went for the job as well as they're my team and wanted to move to them asap on my career save) - he lasted about 4 months before getting sacked - then I got the job - great stuff! Why we would ever have appointed him is bizarre to me anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycstorm Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hardly a legend, but was surprised to find Faustinio Asprilla listed as a scout for some second tier club in Argentina.
