There were tons of ideas on this thread:

I've been using this one with no problems - I'm in season 4. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776261068&searchtext=italy For the San Marino League, I used classen's one and just validated it for 22.4 in the pre-game editor.

I've done it with 2 "managers" managing 4 teams. Manager 1 with Victor and the National Team; Manager 2 with San Giovanni and the National Team Under 21's. It takes a little getting used to, but look for the club's badge in the top left corner of the screen or on the bar in the top right where it will give you the manager's name or initials - then you know where you are. Some custom skins make it easier as they change background or menu colour so you know which manager you are far easier. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes, you can sign players.

I've re-started - found this one online, I'm in season 3 with no problems: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776261068&searchtext=italy It works with 22.4, so there are a few data changes. Emiliano Pedrazzini no longer qualifies to play for San Marino in the second season of the save. Striker Voinea is no longer with the club and we are lacking a decent AF/Poacher. The youth facilities are also way down on the original database. Anyway, given dynamic youth ratings aren't dynamic, I bought the Editor and I'll make them dynamic - nothing crazy, indeed I won't lift it until we are established with a world ranking above 150. Not doing updates or achievements on here, just playing for fun - and not racing to Serie A - going to keep the club at the level of its intakes, so if that means 5+ years in Serie C, so be it. My first FM22 save was too much like my FM19 one - so enjoying being able to attack it a different way.

Yeah, for sure an issue there. I started out at Level 5 in Italy in a 500 capacity "stadium". When we got promoted to Level 3/Serie C that stadium didn't meet the requirements, so we moved to San Marino Stadium (where the National Team play). When we got promoted to Serie A, San Marino Stadium didn't meet Serie A requirements - and the game moved us back to our original 500 capacity stadium!! Took a couple of seasons for a new stadium to be built, still not moved in but haven't played much FM in the last 4+ months.

The current database is I think 22.4 - his database won't work as he wrote it for the original database 22.1. You need to go into advanced setup of the game, and change the database back to 22.1 (should be in the top right hand corner of your screen from memory - but sure if you Google it, you'll find how to do it). If you want to use 22.4, then you'll have to validate the file in the pre-game Editor. I don't know if this will work as Eccellenza is regional, large and complicated and you'll probably get errors. I doubt too many people are good enough with the editor to resolve that. So, I think your best best is to go 22.1.

It's on page 13 of this thread - my post dated Feb 24. It's the original database though, so you'll need to make sure you change to that one when you start the save. If you want to the current database, you'll have to run it through the pre-game editor and it may or may not validate.
