024: Any improvement?Diego Correa is facing the second relegation battle of his managerial career. After failing to avoid the drop at third tier Europa, the Argentine now looks to be experiencing the same event at fourth tier Andorra. The only salvation?...
It has been busy!That was the conundrum with Glacis, I just felt the gaps to make any progress were too large, for example to the next position up it was almost double our points tally - it's quite a top-heavy division. It was also a big step down (per FM...
023: A familiar feeling.After a first pre-season start to a job, Diego Correa now takes Andorra into Segunda Federación action to begin 2030-31 for real.One new signing did arrive before the season's beginning. Not sure how the DoF managed it financially,...
022: A first pre-season with Andorra.Diego Correa guides the Andorrans through pre-season ahead of the 2030-31 season. I would now usually share the transfers but I cannot, as no signings have been made. The finances are even more barebones than anticipat...
021: Hoping for something longer-term.After short stints of contrasting outcomes at Europa and Glacis United, Diego Correa was hoping to return to Spain for the 2030-31 campaign and regain a sense of stability; à la that three-year spell with Xerez Deport...
020: Off to Gibraltar.After that failure of a stint at Europa in 2028-29, Diego Correa decided to drop down a level to spend (the rest of) 2029-30 with Gibraltarian side Glacis United. He penned a short-term deal with The Clarets, with the move reportedly...
019: Correa's next job.Quicker than he would've wanted, Diego Correa finds himself back at the job centre.Within days of leaving Europa, fellow relegated (albeit from the other group) Primera Federación side CD Ibiza offered Correa an interview; despite n...
018: Can Correa save face?His impact on Europa has been hideous. The team were admittedly struggling before his arrival, though Escapulados' season has more certainly taking a further step for the worse since the Argentine arrived. With relegation all but...
That's a good way to view it! Evidently, the wrong choice of next job for the Argentine.
017: Can Correa save Europa?Diego Correa's first two months (one and a half, really) in charge of third tier Europa could not be described as anything other than a calamity. 8 games, 7 defeats, 1 draw. They headed into the New Year eleven points away from...
016: Can Correa get Europa running?Diego Correa joins third tier Europa mid-season in November 2028, with the team sat in the relegation spots and adrift of safety by 5 points. His first game in charge was with the even more struggling Sestao River, so th...
015: Where next?Off the back of ending his two-and-a-half year tenure with Xerez Deportivo, Diego Correa went into 2028-29 without a club. His intentions were to remain in Spain, but with Portugal or Gibraltar open in his mind too.The first team to come i...
014: Diego Correa's final games in charge?With play-offs extremely likely to be out of the picture for Xerez Deportivo with 8 games to play, there were local reports that the Argentine would step down at the campaign's conclusion; with his contract ending...
013: Hoping to build on some promise.November and December was undoubtedly a damaging period in 2027-28 for Xerez Deportivo. However, based on a tactical tweak and a win last time out, there was possible bright signs to build upon.January 2028 saw two new...
012: Winning ways need returning.Diego Correa's Xerez Deportivo got their 2027-28 campaign started in fine fettle, winning 5 of their opening 6 league fixtures across August and September. However, an unacceptable October saw Xerecistas go winless with ba...
Based on what's happened across Diego's 24 months, more or less, in charge now is that this squad does blow hot and cold. A struggle saw Correa able to get the job in the first place but then promotion play-offs were almost secured, then in that first ful...
011: Another flying start?Following a short but fruitful pre-season, Xerez Deportivo went into 2027-28 looking to replicate their blistering start to the preceding campaign. Would they?Before the competitive campaign got underway properly, two new signing...
Diego is I, I am Diego, we are all Diego.Sadly those results so far were only worth friendly bragging rights, though similar results last pre-season did lead to a strong start so here’s hoping for more of the same. Always unsure of what to expect at this...
010: Another season on the way.Diego Correa is all set to begin his second full (or so he hopes) season in charge of Xerez Deportivo in Spain's fourth division. First up: pre-season.Those four players - all free agents - make for the Xerez's summer signin...
Good to see you start a story, and a well presented one it is too. Best of luck ahead of the season proper, which looks promising based on pre-season/League Cup.
It'll be nice to read a story about Hungarian football, especially one produced by a fan of the club being managed. Good luck!Roland Duchâtelet is someone I had forgotten about, he's known here in the UK for his equally as awful ownership of Charlton Athl...
Love a cupset! Quality result.No reason to doubt you btw, the only cheating I see is you getting a real life assistant manager to help you through extra time… 😁
I take it things didn't go to plan with Bolton?🫣 Either way, up the Pompey!
009: Late recovery?Diego Correa and Xerez Deportivo crashed and burned across the opening months of 2027. From flying at the top of the table across the latter months of 2026, the team all of a sudden dropped like a stone in early 2027 to now find themsel...
008: Sink or swim.That flying start under Diego Correa for Xerez Deportivo feels like a long time ago now. They came into this next period still top of the table, but were coming off five matches without a win as the chasing pack got closer and closer. Co...
007: Loss in form incoming?Xerez Deportivo started their first full season under Diego Correa like a runaway train across August, September and October, though the latter month did end with a fairly sizeable question mark: after two iffily obtained draws,...
An interesting club to charge through the pro leagues with, given they've already done just that in their earlier non-league days. Best of luck!
Fingers crossed! I have to say, I wasn't expecting this start. Hopefully the table-topping form doesn't fall off as sharply as it did in my #MUWomen save! You're not wrong! You'd almost prefer to either win promotion outright or just finish 6th...
Gotta enjoy the good days! Hopefully that start will give you a good base to work with, even if the form does drop a bit.
Good to see Mr. Tongey punished for being one of those managers that doesn't put a goalkeeper on the bench. Schoolboy error!What a season, though, for a club like Chania! Will he stay or will he go…
006: A busy opening two months or so.After an off-season that saw many (too many) changes to the starting eleven, as well as minimal incomings for an already small squad, Diego Correa - according to local media - didn't seem all that confident of success...
Ha, I'm fortunate that I've had a good amount of time to play - and with only a few leagues loaded, FM does tend to fly nowadays. Plus the old ‘just one more game' and all that.Pre-season was good, albeit against relatively weak oppo. But to score so many...
005: Season 2 gets underway.After missing the promotion play-offs by just two points at the end of 2025-26, Diego Correa and Xerez Deportivo go into 2026-27 with hope. However, with a number of key players departing and a limiting financial situation, a t...
A perfect start for Mr. Gauthier! And no problem with the supposedly slower posts btw, there's no rush and it's not a bad thing to have a story pace itself.🙂
Nice work with this so far, and a great start on the pitch to get into the League Cup knockouts. Best of luck!
004: Play-offs on the horizon?Diego Correa's time at Xerez Deportivo in Spain's fourth division started poorly, though a sharp uptick in form made promotion play-off football a fair possibility heading into the business end of the campaign. With 9 fixture...
That's the format, correct. After that period of positive results, play-offs were certainly a possibility. Indeed you don't! Play-offs would far exceed my expectations, but how nice it would be to get a crack at clinching a spot in the th...
003: The feet are under the table.With a new tactic and subsequently a first win in tow, Diego Correa and Xerez Deportivo walked into the New Year with fresh optimism - and it was needed, after an iffy beginning to life in Jerez de la Frontera for the Arg...
002: The first months in charge.Fresh off his appointment as Xerez Deportivo manager, Diego Correa headed into the final months of 2025 searching for a positive impact.His first game in charge came at home to relegation candidates Yeclano Deportivo. The m...
001: Diego Correa is appointed.After departing the assistants hotseat at Club Deportivo Extremadura back in June 2025, Correa was left twiddling his thumbs for months into 2025-26 as he awaited the right opportunity to step into lead management for the ve...
We're underway! Actually quite nice to read a story based in France, don't think I've really read that many about the French lower leagues on here.
Good to see the board come through with the new contract. Merited, as you've had a positive impact overall. Keep it up!
😁Can't wait to get it started!
I'm someone who loves reading through footballer career paths on Wikipedia, so it made sense to create one for my FM manager.I hope it's going to be a great save! Correa certainly does indeed have things to put right with the Spanish system, time will tel...
Before the save gets underway early next week: Introducing… Diego Correa. Early life:Correa was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina on 22 June 1986 to parents Jorge and María (née Fernández) Correa. He was named in honour of Diego Maradona, having come...
The full release of FM26 is just around the corner. As such, I will - if all goes well - finally be able to get my long-term save underway. It's… a journeyman. I know, shocking. Anyway, here's a quick introduction. Although I've played FM for yonks,...
A journeyman where success isn't guaranteed (I'm not quite that good at FM), but the journey will (hopefully) be enjoyed.
Always up to follow a save of this kind. Good luck with Alpendorada! Hopefully their badge being similar to Porto's is a good omen for Mr. Barbosa's future…
Quality work! Nikos Ioannidis was the man with the goals, but looks like Lucas Necul came out with a some big moments to propel you to promotion. I hope the top-flight serves you better than it did Lawrie Sanchez:"In the Magic Kingdom that is SuperLe...
I appreciate the kind words, I certainly enjoyed the save. Can't wait to get my journeyman going though! Nunes was class, one of my favourite signings on FM ever to be honest.Up there with a striker I signed when managing in the Portuguese lowe...
