Fifty-seven years ago, on his 39th birthday, Trebor Mahtal left the streets of Mazabuka, in southern Zambia, for the first time to board a flight to Germany. After studying a few languages, watching as much football as possible and earning his National C licence, he went in search of his big break in football management.
Trebor Mahtal ticked off the ninth leg of his Alphabet Challenge as he led Juventus to its first Serie A title for 25 years in 2045. The Zambian now went in search of his 12th club and immediately eyed up a few interesting roles.
It's a historic - and, admittedly, pretty controversial - moment as Celtic take on Rangers in the first-ever Old Firm derby to be played in English football.
Robinho Lazaró enjoyed his first taste of European football as he led his new VFL Wolfsburg side into a top-half finish in Bundesliga. However, he enjoyed the money that came into the club during the summer of 2046 even more.
Russian manager Vladimir Latunov had overseen an impressive turn in fortunes for his new club NK Celje. The Slovenian side finished just outside the relegation zone in the 2035/36 campaign, but sat top of the league unbeaten mid-way through the current season.
After 15 years in-game at Bolton Wanderers, I thought it'd be good to reflect on our time at the club and have a look around the world of football in 2035. So read on for our best players, competition histories, manager updates, and the best regens in the world!
Way back in August 2019, fledgling English football manager Robí di Lathamé took the reigns of Sporting Lisbon. Now, 21 years later at the age of 56, I was preparing for my final match as a football manager.
After 17 seasons of life in-game on Football Manager 2020, I'd just wrapped up my 11th league title and my third in three years in Germany with Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund moved into 2036 narrowly behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of Bundesliga, with perennial challengers Bayern Munich lingering. And our strong form was being inspired by a watertight defence that conceded just five times in the first 16 league games.
With a second successive Bundesliga title in the bag and an invincible season behind us, it was time to reflect on next steps and goals of this Journeyman save. I'm still excited about the potential of this Borussia Dortmund squad, but the key next challenge is to win that elusive Champions League for the first time - 16 years into the save!
