After 15 Premier League titles in 16 seasons, the end was very much nigh in this successful Sir Alex Ferguson Challenge. However, I felt we had to conclude the career of arguably the greatest player in Football Manager history, Luís Pereira.
World Champions Union Berlin headed into 2042 with a narrow lead at the top of Bundesliga as they looked to regain the title they'd previously won three times in a row.
Sir Alex Ferguson's impressive tally of 13 Premier League titles had been broken as we led Nottingham Forest to our 14th championship success in the 2041/42 campaign. I'd also racked up 5 Champions Leagues, 6 FA Cups and 4 Carabao Cups among my 47 trophies as a Football Manager.
Approaching our 20th season at Nottingham Forest, we were now tied with the great man Sir Alex Ferguson's 13 Premier League successes having won the last nine titles in succession.
A mean defence had seen Union Berlin only concede seven goals and keep 13 clean sheets in the first half of their second Bundesliga title defence. And they again enjoyed a decent gap over Bayern München, who spend nearly four times more on wages than their smaller rival.
Having become the most successful Football Manager of all time in surpassing Sir Alex Ferguson's haul of 38 trophies, the only remaining objective on our list was his 13 Premier League successes.
An inspired summer signing and a superstar striker had fired Union Berlin back to the top of Bundesliga as they began their first-ever title defence in style. Manager Ruprecht Prusseit's biggest challenge now was to keep hold of his in-demand players.
Ruprecht Prusseit completed his 16-year journey from a Sunday League nobody to a German title winner as he led Union Berlin to become the first-ever OstDeutscher Bundesliga winners.
Ruprecht Prusseit needed a little time away from football after seeing his Union Berlin miss out to perennial Bundesliga champions Bayern München on the final day for a second season in a row. But he came back to work refreshed and eager to take Bayern down.
Union Berlin enjoyed the best season in club history in 2035/36 as they finished in a record high of 2nd in Bundesliga and won their first major trophy as Ruprecht Prusseit led them to the Europa Conference League. Now they had to step up to the challenges of competing in the Champions League for the first time.
