My new football life 2016

Started as manager of Helsingborgs IF and the danish national team in early 2015 in FM16.
Only stayed in Helsingborgs IF for 136 days,then took almost a two year break as club manager before I took over Östersunds FK 3 matches before the end of Superettan 2017 and was able to get them up to Allsvenskan after doing playoff against Halmstads BK but we made quite bad in Allsvenskan so after 220 days I left Östersund FK as well after two board meetings. 9th of January 2019 I decided to take over as manager in Portadown who at the time I took over was 2nd in the Danske Bank Premiership and after me running Crusaders from Belfast over by 5-0 Portadown now in the lead of the league by 3 points at round 27 in the 2019 season.

During all this time I have continued as national manager of Denmark and was able to qualify Denmark for Euro 2016 in France after playoff against Ukraine.

At that championship in my save Iceland,Norway,Sweden,Denmark and Finland all qualified for Euro 2016.
Sweden,France,Denmark and Austria in same group and opening match between Denmark and Sweden at Stade de France(must be a bug as normally the the opening match are with host nation).

Group E ended up as quite close race with all 4 teams with 4 points after 3 matches,Spain,Romania,Poland and Ireland. That ment Spain,Romania and Poland went through to next stage.

In next round Belgium sent France out and my Denmark were sent home by Germany,Sweden sent Portugal home,Netherlands sent Serbia home,Wales sent Romania home,Spain beaten Italy and Greece sent England home.

In quarterfinals Belgium sent Croatia home after extra time,Germany sent Wales home,Spain sent Netherlands home and Sweden sent Greece home.

In the semifinals Belgium won over Germany and Sweden sent Spain home after penalties.

The final had Viktor Kassai as ref and he sent Jonas Olsson of Sweden off by a direct red card and Belgium won the final 4-1.

I failed to qualify for World Cup 2018 in Russia and Germany won again,this time though not with Joachim Löw and final was against Italy and Belgium won the bronze match against Argentina.

Current national manager of Germany is Dieter Hecking. Joachim Löw currently manager of Valencia with Miroslav Klose as assisting manager.

Next qualification for my Denmark is the Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022(which in my save were moved to Marocco.

After the 2018/2019 season in Northern Ireland Premiership my Portadown ended up as champions of Northern Ireland after a win by 5-0 over Linfield in the final match of the season. In the Euro 2020 qualifying I have won over Liechtenstein and Netherlands. Seamus Stitt a 18 year old striker scored 22 goals in the league in same season and the team made total of 74 goals and let 40 goals.

Started okay in the 2nd season as Portadown manager,at the moment number 3 in the league after the first 5 matches or so. In the Euro 2020 qualification my Denmark has the best goal difference but then we also won 9-0 away against Andorra and 4 or 5-0 away against Liechtenstein which helps on the goal score. After first 6 matches in the qualifying campaign Denmark are number 2 in group which includes Netherlands,Romania,Liechtenstein,Andorra and Slovakia.

2nd season in Portadown didn't gbo as well,ended as number 5 in the league so after a couple of board meetings I decided to resign from Portadown just before Euro 2020. h

At Euro 2020 Denmark,Sweden,Iceland and Germany ended up in group F and Denmark went to Bilbao and Rome to play. I lost two matches and got a draw against Sweden.

Sweden went through to the final for 2nd time in a row,this time it was against Italy and Sweden lost it. Viktor Kassai got the final again.

After Euro 2020 I got sacked as national manager of Denmark after 5 years.

I also took over as manager of Bohemians in Ireland so I stay on same island. Decided to take Mark Carlisle with me from Portadown as assisting manager.

My season as manager of Bohiemans ended with 2nd place in Irish best league and just before Christmas 2020 I decided to leave Boheimians for Halmstads BK in Allsvenskan where I will start with a derby against Falkenberg

Took over as national managehr of Marocco but left in middle of Fifa Confederations Cup 2021. Got sacked at Halmstad BK after challenging the board too much too fast after only 46 days in the seat and ended up to finish off the season at Portadown okay by having them end number 3 in Northern Irish Premiership. So seems that in FM16 my best success has been in the irsh island,either in Northern Ireland or Ireland,after winning the premiership with Portadown I entered the northern Irish Hall of Fame . At Portadown it has ended with a 1st,5th and 3rd place and at Boheimans it ended with 2nd place. So very succesful.

In the World Cup qualifying session there is some shocking stuff going on in group with Finland,Norway,Wales,Spain and Azerbadjzan. Finland beat Spain and Wales in the first two matches in the qualifying session. But then they have Sami Hyppiä as national manager but still. At the moment Spain in big risk of not qualifiying for the World Cup,that I suspect would cost Mourinho his job as national manager of Spain.

Seems that in FM16 my best part of football life is on the irish island and now I have found yet another young striker,this time 17 year old Aaron Dalzell which I got from Ballymena Utd. 3 matches played and 2 goals in one match against Glentoran and that match made me go to the top of the league after the 4 first matches of 2021/2022 season

After round 9 of 2021/2022 season my Portadown leads by 5 points to Cliftonville. 8 wins and 1 draw. Quite nice start,much due to my signing of Aaron Dalzell 17 year old striker from Ballymena Utd who has scored 5 goals in 8 matches. Nice start

Won the irish League Cup against Cliftonville 2021/2022

Now only 4 months left of my current one year contract at Portadown

Decided to sign a new 1 year contract with Portadown and got 3-3 away against Strömsgodset but lost 5-0 at home.

At the same time the World Cup 2022 in Marocco were going on with a lot of surprises,the biggest was that Canada ended up as number 4 after playing bronze match against Netherlands and Belgium became World Champion after beating Spain. On their way to 4th place Canada both beaten Sweden and Serbia.

Been very succesful at Portadown,in my first season there I took them to their first title in near to 20 years,in third year I took them to their first Irish Cup win in the same number of years and for the League win I came into the northern irish hall of fame

Taken over at new U21 national manager for Belgium as got offered that job by the national manager of Belgium,will be quite fun to raise a new generation of possiable World Champions

Left the job as U21 national manager of Belgium for a job as national manager of Chile without any match coached as U21 national manager of Belgium

At Christmas 2022 my Portadown in number 2 spot and Glentoran leads by 10 points and Cliftonville 3 points behind Portadown. Only real loss of points yet for Glentoran this season yet has been against Warrenpoint at the bottom of the league.

Got offered the job as manager of Kalmar FF after Henrik Larsson left for BK Häcken. I decided to wait to answer them till after Copa America which equals when my contract at Portadown runs out.

One match of main season 2022/2023 left against Bangor and Glentoran leads 5 points before the final playoff for the title

After a very dramatic playoff for the title it ended with Glentoran and Portadown on 72 points both but Glentoran got the title on goal difference. Good done by Portadown though

Now it's time for Copa America 2023 for Chile against to start with Ecuador,Bolivia and Venezuela

Took Chile to quarterfinal at Copa America but lost against Argentina. in July 2023 I left Portadown for 2nd time around,this time for Békéscsaba in OTP Bank Liga in Hungary

Decided to buy some of my players from Portadown :

Niall Rooney
Aaron Dalzell
Darren Murray

After 10 matches and last in the best hungarian league I decided to resign from Bekescsaba in frustration over lack of results. Was almost back in Northern Ireland,this time at Glentoran but decided to decline the offer I got after a couple of weeks

Was almost back in Portadown for a third time but decided to decline job offer this time. So now on my third year as national manager of Chile

26th of Febuary 2025 I took over as manager of Olympiacos in the greek Super League with them at 9th spot in the league and this year the club celebrate that it's 100 years since it was born

As I took over in Olympiacos most of the staff were fired and now I have found my own ppl for being on the staff plus started buying some players and using up the transfer budget of about 97 million swedish crowns by some quite nice signings.

Ended the season in 7th spot in the greek Super League.

In my Olympiacos squad I have the son of Diego Simone,Giovanni Simone

No longer national manager of Chile as I got sacked due to failed qualification for World Cup 2026 in Mexico

Taken over as manager of Bröndby IF in the danish Superliga for the season after World Cup 2026

Got sacked for leaking to the press and after half a year away from managering I now took over in Caen in Ligue 2 in France and at time of my take over as manager they are in 4th spot of the league and top 3 gets promoted to Ligue 1. I have half a season to get Caen promoted into Ligue 1 which I hope I will succeed with.
