arsenal_2111 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 He has just been made Argentina manager, and I know that it is too late for this to be put in the game. But will he be in the database, so we can change it ourself? As he wasn't even a coach before, will we have to make him as a new person or will he already be in the database, just without a club? Thanks:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm guessing that he still won't be in the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 OK then, guess I'll have to create him. Thanks for the reply:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O\'Hara_fan Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 He won't be because SI made there master copy of the game a few days ago, so will most likely be in the first patch. So I would assume not as he wasn't in last years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 He was in FM back in the days of CM00/01 wasn't he? When was he removed from then the database? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Considering Argentina have a world of talent, if he allows them to play a their natural game and just helps the team gel and build a good atmosphere. He might not have too much to do. He is charismatic he definately knows how to win big games... So I dont see him doing all that bad... HOWEVER good players RARELY make good managers...

Egon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 as above, not confirmed yet: BBC Sport's South American football reporter Tim Vickery said: "This is all coming from Maradona. "There is no official word from the AFA yet so it's still early days. But the tide seems to be blowing in his direction. "He's a religious icon over in Argentina and is a very dangerous force to leave out" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Sala Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Maradona himself confirmed today that he is the new manager for Argentina, the only thing left to do is for the football association to make it official, they meet every thursday so Maradona will have to wait till then to be officially announced as manager, though some people say this will happen this thursday just because its maradona's birthday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Maradona has coached at league level before and it all fell apart because he was a coke head ... allegedly! (dont want to get sued our ought) If he is clean, i suppose he could inspire the team. They are playing rubbish at the moment, so what have they got to lose?! You just wonder how long it will take him to do something stupidin his personal affairs that will cause him to step down or get sacked. It wil be like a car crash waiting to happen.

Wee Aja Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think he will be very successful. Considering he's the most famous player ever to come out of Argentina, I'd say the players will instantly hold him in the highest regard, and hang on his every word. He is a legend, after all. And I'm sure he's on the master database and will be included in the first patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Maradona does have managerial experience, according to Tim Vickery's column on the BBC football site. And if it's anything to go by, Argentina are in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebs Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I feel he'll be excellent - with some hair-raising hiccups along the way! He is a legend after all and if you're Argentinian then you're going to want to play for him aren't you. Be interesting to see how his defenders play!!!

Serj Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm pretty certain that if he gets the job he'll be getting a lot of help from his coaching staff.

ham_aka_stam Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 having read his autobiography, i can definately see him playing a sweeper (libero), he said he used to enjoy playing the position himself, being able to see the entire play and intervene when neccessary, he was very tactically astute, and who knows, this may land him in good stead as a manager now that his various problems are (reportedly) in the past Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is asking if the manager will be in the database. But anyway, like I said before, this thread can be closed. There's a topic about it in the Football Forum, where you can discuss it.

Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 He has already made moves to include the 1986 cup winning coach in his backroom. He'll be fine. He'll just be the face of very wise old hands (in the beginning) until he comes into his own. But I think his success will largely lie in his ability to ignore urges of booze drugs and women.

If your coach parties harder than you do, something is wrong! Though when Argentina comes out in a 2-3-5 with Maradona himself as playmaker we won't know if its because Maradonas coked up or because Carlos Bilardo has gone senile at his age.
