Makoto Nakamura Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Rudolf "Rudi" Gutendorf (born 30 August 1926 in Koblenz) is a German football manager, renowned for managing the highest number of national teams – to date a total of 18 teams. The main aim of this save is to bring back into Football Manager, win as many International Competitions a I can and to be better and manage more nations than Rudi Gutendorf did. So here I embark on my journey, with Saudi Arabia U19's, I mean, why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting challenge and a different one to club challenges. will look forward to this. nice stadium too... welcome back Typical seeing you with a youth team Thanks guys That stadium is King Fahd International Stadium, attendances are poor being under 19's and there are no Saudi players under the age of 20 so the squad is just grey players, we even lost to San Marino!

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 GL in this It willbe interesting to see just how many countries you can do well with. Thanks Pricey The first year of management And my first piece of silverware! With us winning the AFC U-19 championship I think we qualify for the U20 World Cup in 2013 which I think is where I'll resign and try to go for a senior team, it's no fun having a team with no players!

Thanks Rlipscombe, will be good seeing how I fare against proper opposition Good luck. I just remembered this guy from Four Four Two as well (well after reading DazRTaylor's post, it hadn't clicked). Thanks gogogo, I've never actually read Four Four Two :S, it was actually a massive coincidence as I've known about him and what he's done for months, it's only now that I decided to do a career from it. Stunning stadium, good luck Thanks Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 2014 We have won a proper, senior, international competition! We were very poor in the following friendlies and we have the Asian Cup to contend with in January which we will do very well if we just get out of the groups!

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 2015 I think it's fair to say that I'm not afraid of free-flowing goals and in every game bar the England game we've played very well! almost every players in the squad scored this year which is even better, I think that 2016 is the emptiest year in terms of fixtures with just friendlies and competition qualifiers.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 2016 Again a great year for me (barring the 5-0 loss to Spain) as I bring home an Olympic medal as well as the WAFU Cup, we've qualified for the Cup of Nations and have World Cup Qualifiers to contend, I think I'll stay until the World Cup and then resign after that as I'll have gained a good reputation.

rlipscombe Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 that's a seriously tough choice there!1 Agree about the top jobs being slightly unrealisitc maybe? However how do you turn down Brazil. i guess it's a case of if you take a top job and fail, will the others still want you? For me maybe Belgium or Mexico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
