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?

Ronaldo as a scout for a club surely is weird... In RL , he is now the agent of lots of awesome brazilians players ( Neymar, Lucas Moura, Leandro Damião.... )

Emile Heskey has a job as a 'player' at Wigan in 2015!?!? Not seen many people turning their hand to playing football at such a late age.

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.

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.

I can continue the Buffon weirdness: Brentford chairman. In the same save, Mario Jardel was manager of Mansfield Town. Originally Posted by CWind

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!

Hardly a legend, but was surprised to find Faustinio Asprilla listed as a scout for some second tier club in Argentina. He had 20/20 in terms of judging stats, so I signed him up.

In FM09 Marco Di Vaio became a coach at my Nott'm Forest side before moving on 3 years later to take the Cardiff manager job, guiding them to promotion in his first season and a 5th placed finish in his second!

Not really. Neymars and Lucas Mouras agent is Juan Figer from MJF Publicidade and Leandro Damiãos agent is Vinícius Prates. Originally Posted by duduric
