bean824 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Whats your favourite national team to manage? I quite enjoy Mexico because they have lots of young talent that make it enjoyable about 5 seasons in. Also, is there any way to declare interest in a national side?

SlayerX Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've never managed an international team. I would love to get the Scotland job but I want to earn it, and by "earn it" I mean starting off in a lowly league managing a lowly team <cut to a few years of success, or relative success> I then have the honour of being approached by the Scottish Football Association, asking me if I would fancy managing the country that I love. Thus far I've heard SFA from the SFA. I've given hardly any time to the previous football manager games, so I'm not particular surprised by my lack of success, relatively or otherwise.

Never gotten the job. Thought I had a good shot at it in 2016 when I had gotten AFC Wimbledon to EPL, Burley retires, i apply, Alan Irvine gets the job despite me having the better rep (he was unemployed though). He's been in the job 8 years now Hate how managers dont get sacked unless they make it to a tournament which they then do badly in or decide to resign after it.

Althaz Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I love managing Spain and Argentina. I'm currently managing Brazil and they play some absolutely amazing football, but their strikers and defenders don't suit any of my preferred tactics, so I play the other side off the park and win 2-1 usually, lol.

PeTrOzDaGr8 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I love managing Spain as they have brilliant potential and are almost certain of winning euro 2008.

Yes but it's a bit boring to do it this way IMO as you will end up managing only a national team which means 1 match or two per month and long periods without a game. If we could after, starting this way, apply for a vacant position at a club and end up managing both teams, it would be worth trying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
