Scott8490 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So, after 10 years in club management I was offered the Spain job. Hadn't done international job in FM13 so gave it a go. Quickly got bored and was far more concerned about club matters. As champions Spain didn't have to qualify for Euro 2024. After a few friendlies I was seriously tempted to quit, but changed my mind when I found Spain were not only champions, but hosts too. I didn't really bother with the friendlies - only arranged a few and let my assistant take them, employing my club tactics and shoe-horning my international players in. Got to the Quarter finals before a player I raised and still manage at club level scored the goal to knock me out for France. I resigned immediately as Spain boss. Spain moved quickly to appoint the then England manager in my place. I applied to the now vacant England post just to see if I could get it. A week or so later in game I was indeed offered the job. Before turning it down I thought I'd have a look at the fixtures to see if there was anything that may be alright. Not having followed matters, what I found surprised me ... The next game was 3 days later, v the Germans ... in the Euro 2024 final. Now, after a 3-2 AET win (with Butland saving a 120th minute German penalty), I have won Euro 2024 with England. And I've been in the job 3 days. It can't get any better can it? Quit now or try and win the World Cup in 2026? What would you do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've been in the job 3 days. Quite ridiculous really. As if a manager would jump ship mid-tournament, especially as he’d taken his team to the Final. Surely couldn’t be too difficult to implement a coding to make the manager take over when the tournament was over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
