Makoto Nakamura Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Europe is pretty big to say the least, over the years I've tried a few bottom to top saves and seen a few 'Jacob's Ladder' saves and so I'm going to be doing the latter. I've started as an unemployed Sammarinese manager and I'll be waiting for a job to open up in San Marino. Once I land a job the aim is to win the league, cup & super cup (if there is one). Once I win all these then I'll make San Marino view-only, look for a job in Andorra and I'll make Wales playable. The starting playable leagues are San Marino, Andorra & Gibraltar. There's a database of 38,000 players which are players from the top division of every European country so that they should remain pretty stable as time goes on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) S.S. Murata is a Sanmarinese football club, based in Murata, a civil parish of the city of San Marino. The club was founded in 1966. Murata currently plays in Girone B of Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio. The team's colours are black and white. They won their first Sammarinese national title in 2006, and repeated as champions the next two years. As UEFA decided to include Sammarinese champions in the first preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League starting from the 2007–08 season, Murata were the first Sanmarinese team to take part in the main European competition (see below for details). In order to reinforce the team, in July 2007 the club signed 41-year-old former Brazilian star and 1994 FIFA World Cup champion Aldair, gaining some headlines in the Italian sports news because of the move. Another former Serie A star, 43-year-old striker Massimo Agostini, played for Murata from 2005 to 2008. In July 2008, Murata announced that they were hoping to sign former Brazil international Romário so he could play in the club's upcoming UEFA Champions League fixtures. They also approached the former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, but both declined Murata's offer. On July 17, 2007, Murata became the first Sanmarinese team to play in a UEFA Champions League fixture, contesting a First Qualifying Round tie against Tampere United from Finland. The home game of the two-legged tie was played at San Marino Calcio's Olimpico Stadium and resulted in a 2–1 win for Tampere. Murata lost the away leg 2–0 and were eliminated. The history is there, they've had some massive players but now they're a shadow of their former selves. Can I be the one to bring the glory days back? I hope so because it doesn't bode well otherwise. And here's the squad at our disposal. Edited December 11, 2022 by Makoto Nakamura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are losing a lot of players...our two strikers are off to Serie C, a couple more to Serie D and the rest are off to the Eccelenza. 2022/23 Best XI Augusto Barrone Carlo Valentini - Alex Briganti - Filippo Longhi - Giacomo Conti Luca Patregnani - Lorenzo Liverani Matteo Gaiani Mattia Ceccaroli Alezzandro Falleni - Gianluca Pozzessere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Looks like I may change this to only needing to win the league & the nations version of the FA Cup since, when in San Marino anyway, if you win both the league and the Coppa Titano then the following season's Super Cup doesn't take place. (In real life the Coppa Titano runners-up would take part) and since I don't particularly want to throw a competition, this may be the best way forward. Which does mean that San Marino is completed. I'll stay in charge of Murata for now, until something comes up in Andorra. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Futbol Club Ordino is an Andorran football club based in Ordino. The club currently plays in Primera Divisió. Founded in 2010 as a football academy, FC Ordino currently plays the Primera Divisió, after it was admitted by the clubs of the league in 2012. In May 2013, Ordino were promoted to the top division, after winning every game they played in the Segona Divisió. Argentine footballer Javier Saviola joined as an assistant coach in September 2016. The club has successfully reached two Andorran Cup semifinals during the 2014–15 season, against Lusitans, and the 2016–17 season, against Sant Julià. In the 2016–17 regular season they were relegated to the second tier in the playout with a 3–5 on aggregate against Penya Encarnada d'Andorra. At the end of 2017–18 season, the team returns to the first tier after finishing 1st in Segona Divisió. FC Ordino has often been thought of as an example of small but ambitious and successful young club. Bottom of the table and £200 over our wage budget.
