The Journeyman (FM2 0 )

His mission is to lift the national title of all 13 countries available on Football Manager 2021. An adventure that begins in Poland sees him manage some of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe, leading unfancied minnows to glory with the occasional sacking for good measure. But what you can always expect from Latunov is his spiky, fiery Russian temperament coming to the boil.

Crazy Gang (FM22)

Football fans of a certain age will fondly remember the good old days of football when it was more than acceptable to give a tricky winger a kick up the arse to keep him quiet. Nowadays, that’s far from the case and, frankly, it’s boring to watch.

So instead of this modern obsession with tippy-tappy rubbish and nauseating passing out from the back, I wanted to create an aggressive, horrible team that would take delight in kicking their opponents in Football Manager 22. We take control of AFC Wimbledon, aiming to implement the approach of the infamous Crazy Gang.

Wonderkid Factory (FM23)

What follows is a 20-year adventure establishing Envigado as one of the best clubs in South America.

Pentagon Pursuit (FM24)

A much-heralded thesis on the state of modern football earned Robaato Rasamu the adulation of managing directors from every sports club in Tokyo.

The wannabe manager used this new-found fame to begin an epic Football Manager journey aiming to win the top five continental trophies.

Alphabet Challenge (FM24)

Trotters Talent (FM21)

Fledgling manager Robi di Lathamé was a lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan who’d seen his beloved club sink to new lows of the fourth tier of English football.

Discover the growth of a club that tastes glory as a result of producing a steady stream of homegrown players, aka Trotters Talents.

That puts the wheels in motion for the untested manager to enter the managerial world in the sixth tier of German football. Prusseit has one objective in mind – to become the first manager to lead a club from the former East Germany to the Bundesliga title.

EuroTrip (FM24)

Fledgling Zambian manager Trebor Mahtal pulled together a CV based on his minimal coaching experience and went in search of an opportunity in the world of football. Mahtal was intent on managing outside of Europe’s big leagues, which left him with the option of 62 leagues across 27 nations.
