Ruprecht Prusseit - the first man ever to win a Bundesliga title with a team from East Germany - led Union Berlin to a fifth Bundesliga title in six years and a second Champions League crown in three years in 2043. And that marks the moment where we brought this particular FM Story to an end.
Fifteen years into life as a Football Manager, Ruprecht Prusseit had worked his way up from the sixth tier of German football to challenging at the top in the big time of the Bundesliga.
Ruprecht Prusseit had cobbled together a squad of freebies and loanees in the summer of 2030 but somehow put together a team potentially capable of mounting a 3. Liga title challenge. Indeed, his Energie Cottbus sat top of 3. Liga heading into 2031.
The unusual decision to join a club in the division below your current club was seemingly working out well for Ruprecht Prusseit, who'd led Energie Cottbus to 18 wins in his first 19 league games in charge. That immediate success saw the Cottbus board move quickly to lock down their prized asset, handing Prusseit a £500 weekly wage increase until the end of the next season.
Ruprecht Prusseit felt his career would be best off at a club that wasn't a B Team. He soon received an invitation to an interview from Energie Cottbus, who'd just been relegated from 3. Liga, after having to reject an interview offer from Bundesliga side Augsburg.
In OstDeutscher Sieg (East German Victory) we can only manage football teams based in former East Germany. Our aim is to become the first-ever Bundesliga champion to hail from the former Soviet-ruled area by working our way from the bottom to the top of the German football system.
