042:--How has it been (just over) a month since my last post!Had every intention to return to the save but kept saying to myself “Tomorrow!”… and here we are.I finally chucked myself into the game to get pre-season (and Super Cup) over and done with - mis...
Let's hope so, the trophy cabinet is gathering far too much dust! 😨
041:Carles Carmona has completed a full season with Litex, as the Spaniard returns to Bulgaria with expectations of a mid-table finish. Here's how he got on: Well, 8th is mid-table and that's exactly where Carmona and Litex place at the end of 2038-3...
040:Carles Carmona is back in management! Less than three months on from his decision to walk from Puskás Akadémia, the Spaniard has found new work - but to where, Chris Kamara? Carles Carmona makes a return to Bulgarian football! Having previously c...
039:2037-38 has finished, Carles Carmona has been at the helm of Hungarian top division side Puskás Akadémia - a club that hadn't yet lifted the OTP Bank Liga title, though had placed in second across six of the last seven seasons. Could the Spaniard be t...
After almost 4 years back in Romania with FCSB, Carles Carmona is once again a free man as he goes in search of the seventh job of his career - in what is the year 2037. With 4 nations from the ‘ABCCHRSSS’ visited, the Spaniard is still yet to head to Aus...
2036-37 has come to a conclusion. Spanish manager Carles Carmona came into the campaign in final year of his contract with Romanian top-flight side FCSB, as he aimed to finally get the club back into European football or at least surpass expectations of a...
035:Carles Carmona has completed his third season back with FCSB in Romania's top-flight. Off the back of a respectable, if somewhat disappointing, top 5 finish last season in 2034-35, the hopes were to improve upon that in 2035-36; though the board and s...
034:Carles Carmona's first full season with FCSB over in Romania's top division has come to an end. Having placed in the bottom half (aka relegation round) in 2033-34, the Spaniard was aiming for a top half (aka championship round) finish in 2034-35. Did...
033:So, Carles Carmona has moved back into his room at the Holiday Inn Bucharest, situated relatively near the Arena Națională, as he re-takes the reigns at FCSB in Romania. The main question was: Could Carmona last more than 100 days this time? Let's fin...
032:No, your eyes do not deceive you, Carles Carmona has made a shock return to FCSB on 4 November 2033 - having been sacked by the Romanians after a 100-day spell back in 2028. I know, I'm just as surprised by these developments! Let me explain. It'...
030:So, Carles Carmona has finally hit some good form as he recovers from disappointing spells in Romania and Slovakia to gaining promotion over in Bulgaria. 2032-33 was quite the season for the Spaniard at Slavia Sofia, so here's a quick rundown of what...
029:Prediction Recap:Cup final loss = tick2nd place finish = tickDobrudzha win on the final day, we fail to win = tick Give me 1 second, I'm off to buy a lottery ticket because I can predict the future! /sI'll let it slide on this occasion, I'm grate...
028:How good does that look? 😍We are going up, say we are going up!Now can we get the title? Doubtful as we play 3rd and Dobrudzha (who won their game in hand) play the bottom side. I don't really care anyway, promotion was all I wanted.
027: Onto more important matters…
026: Nothing achieved yet, but a crazy season no matter what. Prediction: 2nd, with cup final loss.
Carles Carmona is aiming to rebuild his career after failed (and rather short!) stints with FCSB in Romania and Železiarne Podbrezová in Slovakia. To do so, the Spaniard has moved to Bulgaria to take over Slavia Sofia - a former solid top-flight team that...
024:Carles Carmona headed back out on yet another job search. After departing FCSB in October 2028 it took the Spaniard until January 2031 to find new work, but I am pleased to say this job search was much more busy and much quicker in terms of new job ar...
023:So, Carles Carmona had a month to save himself from the sack as manager Slovak top-flight team Železiarne Podbrezová. With mid-table expectations, the club were sitting at the time of the board meeting around the relegation zone after 7 defeats in 11...
022: Carles Carmona has one month to save his job at Železiarne Podbrezová… in that period: 4 of the top 7, including 1st (a), in his next 4 games. It's not looking good, bruv.
Taking the Des Buckingham managerial route, I see. 😁On my save I went from late 2028 to early 2031 with only a few interviews which was unusual compared to my past experience on old FMs, so perhaps SI have tweaked something in regards to securing a job i...
021: Carles Carmona begins job number three in the save, as the Spaniard takes his bags to Slovakia for the first time as he takes over at Železiarne Podbrezová. He joined with 4 matches left of the regular season, with 10 further encounters on the w...
020: Carles Carmona's search for a new job has been extensive and seriously time-consuming, as it is now 2 January 2031 - he was sacked by FCSB on 4 October 2028… - but the Spaniard has belatedly found himself some new work. But where? Car...
019:Carles Carmona headed into his first season with FCSB full of hope and expectation, having finally landed a job that would see him start a season in the hot seat; as opposed to coming in mid-season. As previously shown, the season did not start well a...
016: Carles Carmona is off to Romania! After almost 7 months out of a job, the Spaniard has found his feet at FCSB.Arena Națională (capacity = 53,500)That's a nice gaff, eh?Carles Carmona has landed by far his biggest job thus far, as he takes over a...
015:Carles Carmona headed into his third full season (fourth overall) with Istra in 2027-28 under a cloud of disappointment from the preceding 2026-27 campaign, which saw the club meander at the bottom portion of the Croatian top division; having placed 2...
014:Carles Carmona has now concluded his second full season (third overall) with Croatian top-flight side Istra. The prior campaign, 2025-26, saw major positivity after Carmona guided the club to a historic 2nd place finish, into the cup final and into th...
013:An simply unexplainable 5 days at Istra. From losing 6-1 to promoted and 3-out-of-3-losses-to-start-the-season Hrvatski Dragovoljac in the HNL on 9 August 2026… …to overcoming a 3-1 first leg defeat by beating Liga Portugal side Boavis...
012:Carles Carmona's has completed his second season with Istra, meaning he has belatedly completed a full season with one club for the first time in his managerial career; after half seasons with Orijent and Istra. And I must say, it has been an absolute...
011:It won't last I'm sure, but it sure has been fun thus far!
010: A summer of upheaval was desired, and a summer of upheaval happened.From last season's line-up, just 2 players were selected to remain - meaning 9 new faces have arrived.Here's the difference: Before Signings: After Signings:&nbs...
09: As seen previously, Carles Carmona somehow led Istra to a dramatic final day salvation from relegation. It was all looking incredibly dark… and then sheer craziness occurred. Here's a rundown, at least the best one I can provide because I'm still...
08: I'm genuinely speechless. I have no idea how, but: Istra. Are. Staying. Up!One of the craziest final days, and fixture run-ins, I have ever experienced on Football Manager - and it actually went in my favour, for once. Flabbergasted.I'll explain...
07: Have a guess how many times we've won in the 11 games since that 3-0 debut win over Dinamo Zagreb?I'll give you a clue: it rhymes with oh-dear-o. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 5 matches left to save one's bacon!
06:Erm… Excuse me?! An incredible first match in charge of Istra for Carles Carmona.Literally me after each goal went in:
05:Carles Carmona has found his next club. But where will he be heading this time? -- Mr. Carmona remains in Croatia 🇭🇷 as he joins top-flight basement boys Istra! Stadion Aldo Drosina (capacity = 8,900)Carles Carmona's previous experience...
04:Season 1 of Carles Carmona's managerial journey has come to a conclusion. Here's a rundown of how the Spaniard got on in Croatia's second division with Orijent, who he joined mid-season in November as they sat in the relegation zone in 10th after 13 ga...
03:Quite the managerial debut for Carles Carmona!
01:Here lies the beginning of The ABCCHRSSS Journeyman!You'll likely be able to guess what “ABCCHRSSS” stands for based on the lead image, but in case not - It is to do with the starting leagues (plan is to add/remove later) that I have loaded, which are:...
00:Yep, back again with yet another new career to share. Long story short, I embarrassingly caved and purchased Football Manager 2024. I know, I'm just as disappointed in myself as you ought to be… but we move. Why the aforementioned tone? Well, this...
Yah, I know, it's a bad name… give me a break!
It did cross my mind to buy FM24 as, as usual, SI & Co. do tend to market it well and there's always a buzz about it being ‘the best game yet’ and I have caved in the past (FM22!), but held firm after watching a few YouTube videos of the beta and seei...
Best of luck with this! I don't think your travel agent has been honest with you though, they've sent you to Uruguay but have seemingly made you believe that you are in Chile.😁
We've both had some interesting saves on here! I think this is my first revist to FM17 since those other saves of mine, so I'm hoping it'll resurrect my feeling towards FM as I do miss the idea (if not the actual physical process) of playing the game regu...
