Nice write up, Il keep an eye on your progress

@riv3th3adSounds like a good save, CL is tough one, I landed a nice job at sporting and they had a nice squad and bit of money to spend so managed to win it there. Portugal the most likely league to win it in outside top 5 leagues

@djhagsteri will have to amend the description. Each Stage must be completed at a different club.
Any extra trophies you win at each stage are just bonus

Not ventured this far down on FM21 yet so thought give this a go. Might be a bit late to complete the challenge as I do have other saves but I will see how I get on.
All setup as instructed, I will keep you updated.

Thanks @uroszilano I hadn't thought of doing that, good idea.
Good work in your save, it took me 4 seasons to finish the first 2 stages as well. The Euros will probably make jobs available as well as managers will take international jobs and starts chains of managers changing jobs, I got 3rd job in August

I finished the Challenge yesterday. Took me 6 months, was a lot of fun but at points did test my patience.
Here is my trophy collection.

No any 3 star leagues are fine, just posted what could get in a screen shot. Suppose if get sacked just get new job in league with same reputation

Ok I am in quarantine and while there I can continue my save which started on youtube with Kasimpasa in Turkey. We managed to finish in ECL spots in the Turkish league in our first season.
In our second season we won the European Conference League and finished 5th. In our third season we managed to win the top domestic cup in the country. Now with our 3rd season ending we are very tempted to move leagues.
Turkey is incredibly challenging because of their youth rules. You ALWAYS have to play with a U21 player who is HGC which makes it a really interesting challenge.
Was offered the Newcastle job in my 2nd season and the Norwegian national team as well. I turned both down.
Nice work, done well with them

To reiterate the challenge is :
Win a league title in four different countries
Win the European Cup in 2 different countriesThe challenge should be done in stages. You can only progress to the second stage after you have won a domestic trophy in your first league. Then from that point onwards you are free to move leagues, but these are all between 3-3.5 leagues. Once you have won a title in at least 3 leagues and if you have won the European Cup in at least one can you finally move to a reputation 4 league and finish the challenge which includes 2 league titles and another domestic trophy, a continental trophy, an intercontinental cup? I assume this is correct?
You need to hop over to one of big boys and take the Turkish title, then free to move country. Belgium was hard having to play 5belgian players every game

What tactic are you using? Is this your Sacchi one?
Mostly 'The Hague 433' throughout. Stuck to that while was at Den Haag. Then if used a few others since being at Feyenoord and Brugge. All 433s though

Nice work @duesouth
I managed to win the league with Rapid on FM20, Salzburg tough to contend with

Both FBs
AM- A
CF - Close down more
GK - Fewer Risks
Mines changed a bit now. Shot % was quite low. Improved a bit now. Only conceded 13 in the league though

Club Brugge 2024-25
Predicted Finish: 1st
Finished: 1st
Cup: Winners
Champions League: 1st KO Round
So after missing out on the Standard job, the Club Brugge job became available quite late as the manager left to take the Belgium job after the Euros. I applied and was successful,
Its weird how its turned out but I'm at a club Happel managed again.
Brugge where champions and in a lot better state than Feyenoord where when I took over. Annoyingly they had made some questionable transfers just before i joined and already played one league game. I had 3 days until first game.
Results
Strong start in the league, also good in CL
Very good apart from the Barcelona game. Finished top my CL group, drew Real Madrid in next round.
Into the Cup Final
Finished season top and undefeated!
6-0 win in Cup final
Unfortunately teams not ready for likes of Real Madrid
Transfers
Some good signings. Happy to sign Doyle and Branthwaite permanently after having both at Den Haag & Feyenoord on loan
Managed to pull in 90 m in player sales
Summary
Great season, 103 goals scored 18 conceded with a very young team. 1 title won and the cup secured, so just one more title and Stage 3 complete. I should be able to build on this and easily win the title again next Season. Still no where near winning Champions League

Feyenoord 2023-24
Predicted Finish: 3rd
Finished: 2nd
Cup: Runners Ups
Euro Cup 2: Winners
Results
Looked like a completely different team from a year a go. To be fair it was pretty much a new squad since took over.
Brilliant Form in all competitions.
So close to an invincible season, losing 1 game to Ajax.
Lost another Cup Final!
Won the Euro Cup II final this time round though.
Dominated the league, won the title with 5 games left.
First title in my save!
Sorry Den Haag
Transfers
Players Signed Early in the Window
Added some good quality. Tommy Doyle and Branthwaite join me again on loan.
A lot more outgoings early in the window.
Then even more throughout the windows. Good clear out
Summary
Very, very good season. Really enjoyed turning things around like that. But again, this part of the challenge is over, I am onto stage 3.
To make things easier I resigned after the Euro Cup II final and started looking for new jobs. The Euros was on so a lot of international teams approached me after which I rejected.
Bayer Leverkusen offered me an interview but I declined due to the league reputation being to high at this stage in the challenge.
I was offered an Interview with Standard but they went with my replacement at Den Haag!

Feyenoord 2022-23
Start Position: 18th
Finished: 5th
Cup: Runners Up
So I was flying high with Den Haag but really wanted a new Job. Feyenoord had an awful start to the season. So I took over. Was the job I wanted in Holland next, although I wish the circumstances where better. However they had a healthy transfer budget of 54m!
Ernst Happel actually moved from Den Haag to Feyenoord, so pretty cool I took the same path.
What Happened?
Results
Having the world cup break was great. It allowed me time to access my squad and play friendly's and then with the window it was like playing pre season followed by a short season.
Got the team organised and familiar with the same system. Performed brilliantly.
Steady climb up the table and reached the cup final.
I was undefeated in the league and came 5th, good turn around and good platform to build off for my first full season.
Unfortunately I came up short in cup final losing 1-0 to PSV
5th Place finish. Happy to see Den Haag carry it on with out me and win the title.
Even though there new manager did say my time the was dubious.
Transfers
Players I managed to bring in during the January window. Reputation had taking a hit so signing players was quite difficult.
A lot of outgoings, some where reserves who where academy players who hadn't made it or been moved on.
Summary
Good Start and plenty of money to invest in the squad. I didn't lose with Den Haag or Feyenoord this season so I was Invincible in the league.

I have made separate thread for my save. Take a look

ADO Den Haag 2022-23 (Start)
Predicted Finish: 3rd
Position When Left: 1st
Champions League: Eliminated in Group Stage
Unfortunately there wasn't any jobs available in the summer, so I began season 3 with Den Haag again.
I played up to the World Cup Break, I played 12 league games and CL qualifiers and group games.
Results
Started off losing to AZ (again) in the Super Cup, but early season league form was brilliant. 7 Wins in 8 games.
Done Well in some hard qualifiers and then drew a tough champions league group. Managed a draw against Gladbach
Another 4 League Wins, 11 Wins in 12 games left Den Haag top of the league,
Pulled off a couple of good results in CL but finished bottom of the group as expected.
Table after I left
Transfers
2 players i had pre arranged transfers for
Not many players in, windows are not needing to be so dramatic now.
Early window outgoings. Sandy Walsh had a poor first and only season.
Few more that left.
Summary
Brilliant start with a really good platform for new manager to build off. I said in earlier comment, new stadium is on the way, new training and youth facility's have been built so could be a good future. Feels a shame to leave but if taken them as far as the challenge requires.

ADO Den Haag 2021-22
Predicted Finish: 6th
Finished: 2nd
Cup: Winners
Euro Cup II: Runners Up
After turning things around and building the makings of a decent squad, I started to develop a low block 433 and made some transfers but was a pretty quiet window. By the time season 2 had begun I had the best staff in Holland in every department.
The Results
Really impressed with the start I made in season 2 even with the fixture congestion.
Very good form over mid season period.
Fixture congestion made things hard, picked up a few injuries which did not help matters.
Lost some Key games in the title race, particularly the AZ game.
Had good draws in the Cup, beat Ajax in semis (I always seem to beat ajax, my system seems well suited to beating them)
Then a 2-1 victory after Extra Time vs Feyenoord in the final.
Happy with a second place finish.
Euro Cup II went well, scrapped through the quarter final
In the end we didn't have what it took to win the Final. Very disappointed with the performance.
Transfers
Picked up a few at the beginning of the window and extended some loans from the first season.
These where moved on early.
Managed to move a lot of players on, some players signed where moved on again to make some money.
Summary
Very good season, Cup win, title challengers and runners up in a European competition. Not bad for Den Haag
This part of the challenge is over, I then had to wait for a job to become available.
