I'm not really feeling the Czech-save with Viktoria Zizkov. So I'm going back to Poland! No Garbarnia Krakow this time, but a 'falling giant': Polonia Warszawa. I really like managing in this country, so I'm giving it another go. I made these kits for season 2023/2024. It's the same sponsor as in real life, but the kits are a bit different then the real life version.

Wow @thomas_e, those two youngsters from the last intake are amazing!!

FK Viktoria Žižkov Season review Season 1 | 2023/2024 What a season it was! We won the league title, with 8 points ahead of nr 2 Slezský FC Opava. We only lost 2 games, both against Opava. In the MOL Cup we also did a good job, by reaching the Qtr Final. We lost against Viktoria Plzen, who also won the Cup. Best players this season were Václav Kadlec, Michal Petráň, Radek Voltr, Josef Bazal and Václav Prošek. I also gave youngster Lukáš Mach a lot of playing time, and he is developing nicely. Our squad is quite old, so I really hope that I can still count on them next season. Youth intake As posted before, this was the intake preview: And this the actual intake: I'm really happy with a talented goalkeeper! I only have 1 GK, and he's also refusing to sign a new contract. So it could be that this youngster will be my new GK next season. I also managed to upgrade the Junior Coaching budget twice, so we now have Good Junior Coaching. Our Training Facilities also get an upgrade and will be ready somewhere in the next month or so. Next season will be all about surviving. I really hope that my aging squad can do enough to keep us save. I'll give our most talented youngsters a lot of game time, just to make them ready if some older players are declining.

Well done, @Deisler26! That was a great season!

Fantastic!! What a season

Viktoria Zizkov Season 1 / 2023/2024 Mid-season review We are now halfway our first season with Viktoria Zizkov and things are going quite well. I struggled a bit in the beginning, finding the right tactic/formation. But after some matches I found out that this formation suited the best with our current squad. We are creating a lot of chances, scoring lots of goals (39 so far, most of this league) but also conceding quite a lot: 22, which is too much. So I'm still tweaking the tactic. After 16 matches we are 2nd in the league, just behind Opava. Our match against Opava is the only match we lost (0-1 at home). In the Cup we are in the Qtr Final. In the Third Round we won against Top Division side Slovan Liberec with 3-0. And in the Fourth Round we won against Dukla Praha, again with 3-0. So now we face Viktoria Plzen, the current nr. 1 in the top division. Our Youth Intake Preview was good, not spectaculair. Let's see what our HoYD Patrik Nys will bring to the club.

FK Viktoria Žižkov So, after my recent sack in Sweden, I decided to go to Czech Republic. I already played (shortly) with this club during the Beta version of the game, and really liked it. I saw that @Koetzer chose the same club recently, so I hope he don't mind that I'll try my luck as well at Viktoria Zizkov. It's quite a big club, very decent facilities to start with, and some nice money. And it's fantastic to see former wonderkid Václav Kadlec at the club! Some other nice detail is the "develop players using the club's youth system" expectation. Perfect!

My career at Tyresö FF is over..... I really loved managing in Sweden, but man, this was tough. The step to become a professional club and compete in Superettan(2nd div.) was just too big. Our succes came too early... I come back in Sweden one day, to take revenge. But now it's time for a new challenge...

It's going to happen...... pfffff... Can't believe this is happening. Superettan turns out to be a step to high for us. But after al those promotions in the last seasons, I thought I had some credits. Everything is collapsing right now. Whatever I try, we can't win anymore.

Tough times at Tyresö FF I need to get 6 points from the next 5 games, otherwise the board will sack me...

Nice choice! I also had this club in mind, but decided to start in Sweden. Good luck! Speaking about it: I'm not sure if I'll continue my save in Sweden. Although I really like the club and the progress, I just don't like those long, boring months in beteen the seasons. So I'm checking some other options at the moment. But not Viktoria Zizkov, I'll leave you with that club

@Branst23 Good luck finding some glasses

Everything is explained in the First Post. You'll always start this challenge without any badges or experience.

Tyresö FF Season review Season 3 | 2025 Ettan Fotboll Division 1 Norra (2nd / Promotion!!!) My god, what a season this was! We finished 2nd on the final day of the season. We won our own game against Nyköpings BIS, while Sandvikens IF lost their game against Karslunds IF. So we whipped over them, finish 2nd and qualified for promotion playoffs. Here we faced GIF Sundsvall. We won our home match with 2-1. But then the away game. They were clearly the better team, we were lucky that it was only 2-1. It was only a matter of time until they scored their 3rd goal. But then, in extra time, our youngster Brasse Löfberg 25d (who just came through the youth ranks this season!) scored the equaliser: 2-2! We did it!!! WE ARE GOING UP! Superettan, here we come! The best news item we could get is this one: So because of our promotion, the club is turning fully professional!!! That is very, very, very welcome. Best youth academy layers The best youth players this season were striker Erik Eriksson 24h, winger Milton Briland 24b and midfielder Milton Mellanmyr 23c. Eriksson 24h became our topscorer with 17 goals in total. Youth intake The preview was again very promising. The intake itself was great!! Lots of Elite talents. I'm very happy with this intake, some of them already got some playtime this season.

Exactly

Aah, you're heading to Poland! Say hello to my friends at Garbarnia Krakow Good luck mate. Which club you're starting with?

Ehm, I think you made your manager a bit too good. You need to start without badges&experience. This is not allowed, sorry man.

Yes, that is indeed correct, unfortunately. I already made a bug report about this.

Nice choice! Good luck. Maybe you can take a look at Viitorul Cluj. I have that club on my list, because of their decent facilities. Looks like a very good option to me.

Sweden has never been completed. Norway and Iceland have been completed from Scandinavia. Romania is also a very interesting option!

Ever tried Czech Republic? I've never managed there, but it looks like a very interesting option. Hungary as well.

Tyresö FF Season review Season 2| 2024 Promotion to Superettan wasn't meant to be this season. With 4 games to play we had still a chance, but we lost one game, drew two and won only one. That was not enough to finish 2nd. But I am not complaining at all, because this is way more then I expected. It's a good thing that my tactic is working quite well. I'm still tweaking a bit with some of the roles, but I'm happy with how the team is performing. Best players this season were goalkeeper Isak Holmberg(who scored 2 goals from a free kick this season), forward Niclas Thomasson, midfielder Oskar Kaufmann and winger Anton Fornstedt. Youth intake The preview was very promising: The intake itself was again a very, verry good one! Some real good talents, and some of them will go directly to our first team.

With 4 games to play, we are still in the running for promotion to Superettan (division 2)! It has been a dream season so far. I never thought that we would perform so well, after our promotion last season.

I'm back in Sweden, after a short spell at Pistoiese. But I just didn't feel te 'click'. So after 15 games, I went back to Sweden, to continue my save with Tyresö FF. I just had this intake preview: And this is the league table after 14 games: So we are doing very well in our first season in the 3rd Division!

U.S. Pistoiese 1921 I'll put my Swedish save on hold, because I really want to try a save in Italy. I'll probably continue my save in Sweden on a later point. I chose Pistoiese mainly because it's a club from Tuscany, a region of Italy where I lived for a while. And the club colours are orange and blue, which is a reference to The Netherlands, according to Wikipedia: So yeah, that's a nice thing as well: managing an Italian club with club colours of my own country. They spent only one year in Serie A, in 1980/1981 with the famous Marcello Lippi as one of their star players. In more recent history they played mostly in Serie D or Serie C. I made these kits, because I really can't play without any decent kits.
