I have a nice story about Ole Gunnar Solskjær. After the first season he loses his job at Manchester United. At the same time, SK Brann manages to get relegated from the Norwegian top division and sack their manager.

Brann decide to hire OGS to bring them back to the Eliteserien and he does a great job doing exactly that. Winning the OBOS-ligaen easily and getting promoted. At this point I am managing my team in L2 in England and I decide to add the lower leagues of Spain and France to get more players in my savegame.

In Norway there are some «harsh» registration rules regarding forigners and you can only have 9 of them registered.

OGS, preparing for his first season in the Norwegian top division with Brann chooses to get rid of most of his Norwegian players and signes 25 french and spanish players on free transfer. (Maybe because I added the lower leagues of these nations)

At the start of the season Brann has a registered squad of 14 players. 1 defender in total. Meaning OGS is playing greyed out players in defense in all the games. There are like 20 spanish players in the first team squad who are crazy mad about not being registered.

Brann loses every game and he gets sacked before the team is officially relegated. 

Brann is a pretty big club and should be reaching for the top half even though they were just promoted and have now been relegated two times in three years.

Swansea however are not unimpressed by OGS managing abilities and decides to hire him to save them from relegation from the Championship.

He gets relegated with Swansea.

In my save he is now back with Molde where he has had most of his success in real life.

In every single club he has been, he has been together with Roy Keane as his Ass Man.

Pretty funny to see Roy Keane as the Ass Man of a Norwegian OBOS-League team.

Their is a Norwegian with an even worse English league record and that is Stale Solbakken whose got the West Ham job.

In my save it’s Albert Roca. 
Starts as a fitness coach for Barcelona, with a CV where his most notable managerial job was 2 years at El Salvador and a couple of years at Indian clubs. Despite this, he got appointed as Sociedad manager before moving to Juve, and then to Liverpool.

[Johnny Ace]

Paul Heckingbottom getting the England job in my save, he's been sacked so I guess he didn't do well  

[Garethjohn79]

International Management is bizarre. The amount of big international jobs I've  been offered after not being higher than a 1.5 star club and winning naff all is so far fetched you'd believe I chose the ''pick a team'' option.

 

Juande Ramos popping up at Spurs for 5 minutes getting sacked and ending up at Real Madrid. Oh wait that was real.

The weirdest one for me was not a weird appointment into a manager role, but a weird appointment for a manager.  In the 2023/24 season Ralph Hassenhuttl left a top 6 Southampton side (left not sacked) to became a scout at mid-table Everton.

Probably not that weird, but my current game has Klopp at City & Pep at Liverpool
