ArcticMonkey Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm just approaching 2011 on my Man City game. I have been very successful winning trophies and awards every year and have a world class managing reputation. In around 2009 i thought i might aswell look out for any vacant national team jobs as this would make my game even more fun! I always keep an eye on the jobs list incase a country pops up on there. After the 2010 world cup, a few managers were sacked. I applied for two jobs, Switzerland and Germany. I was confident they would both be accepted as i am having a successful career. But after a few days they were both declined with no explanation. All i want to know is, how do you all manage both club and country. I don't want to add a new manager as a country of my pick, i want to earn the new job. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Keep applying is the only answer. I get rejected for jobs after expecting to get them too. National teams will favour a manager from their own country if they can get one. I was Real Madrid manager and was successful but got rejected for Spain, Italy, France and Sweden. I got accepted in games by Ukraine, Mexico, Argentina and Nigeria. You just got to keep trying, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticMonkey Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks mate, i'll keep at it By the way, is it generally only after poor performances in tournaments that an international manager will get sacked? Or can they be sacked after a run of bad results in friendlies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
