Oh Football Manager 2024, will your time never end? In light of yesterday's unsurprising cancellation of Football Manager 2025, we'll have had two years (if not more) of the FM24 cycle if/when Football Manager 2026 is upon us. However, rather than crying into our cereal that some blokes didn't release a computer game, let's look at some positives and explore some options to pretend we're playing FM25 on FM24.
With Football Manager 2024 edging ever closer, it's time to start thinking about the exciting challenges we want to take on in the new game. So if you're a little short on inspiration for where or who to manage in FM24, we've pulled together a few ideas.
As the clock ticked over to 2042, Robinho Lazaró called off his time at Envigado, standing down as a true legend of the club. He'd taken a club from relegation favourites in 2021 to becoming one of the best teams in South America, purely using homegrown talents from the Envigado Wonderkid Factory.
As he approached 20 years in charge of Envigado, Robinho Lazaró had achieved outstanding success focusing solely on developing the club's outstanding youth prospects.
Robinho Lazaró lifted his and Envigado's 21st Liga BetPlay title as they won Apertura 2040, making Envigado the most successful club in Colombian history. However, more big transfers would seriously impact the club in the mid-season break.
Envigado FC moved into the 2040s level with Millonarios as the joint-most successful club in Colombian history with 20 league titles to their name. Robinho Lazaró was keen to extend that record and establish Envigado as number one.
Robinho Lazaró had taken Envigado FC from no trophies to two-time South American champions and just one title behind Millonarios' all-time league title record.
Envigado's fans were in a state of shock at the massive overachievements of their homegrown heroes. But manager Robinho Lazaró didn't know whether to be shocked, joining in with the many parties he'd been invited to, or smugly gloating in his glory. And he largely chose the latter, professing to anyone who'd listen that he was indeed "a special one."
Envigado FC refocused to dominate yet another half-season in Colombia and overcome a potentially tricky group in their maiden defence of Copa Libertadores. But could they do it all again on both domestic and continental fronts in the second half of 2038?
The streets of Envigado had witnessed their fair share of wild parties greeting their fútbol heroes' rapid rise to success. But the summer of 2037 saw a seemingly neverending fiesta callejera as manager Robinho Lazaró and his team of young homegrown stars partied with their adoring fans having lived up to the "La Cantera De Heroes" - the quarry of heroes - motto.
