I don’t get obsessed when it comes to games. Unless its Football Manager. You have to be a certain type of person to enjoy the pain, suffering and eventually glory that makes up the glorious journey through football. I started my path back in 06 and I never looked back. Ivan Klasnic (I will explain his story later) led my Milan to glory over the course of six seasons. Eventually though it wore off and I moved on to 07 and beyond. I started up as Palermo and managed to take them to glory and make them into a powerhouse. Yes I sold Fagzarli and Zaccardo early on but I tried to keep hold of Amauri and Cavani as long as possible. But then again Mr. Adriano carried us to victory over the course of six seasons bring us three CL titles, one UEFA Cup, three Scudetto’s, four European Super Cups and unfortunately only one Coppa Italia.

He became the club symbol but then left to Real Madrid for 155M. Sure I let him go for that kind of cash. By the end of those five years we had a balance of 489M and we were the second richest club in the world. Who would have thought the pretty men in pink would be so rich. After that I tried my hand at A.C Legnano & Igea Virtus in the lower leagues. I won the Serie C1/A and Serie C2/C but I lost interest and went to Eastern Europe.

It was a huge change to say the least. I started fresh with Dinamo Kyiv or Dynamo Kiev or whatever…and I dominated the Vyscha Liha with a nice 10 point gap in my first season. I also beat United and Porto in the CL but I am still working on that. I decided to get as much silverware as possible after that and finished my other game with CSKA Moscow. It wasn’t much of a challenge and I won the RFPL along with the Kubok Rosii. So here I am planning out my next move. I will return to my Palermo and Kiev saves since they were successful and fun but I want to continue to other leagues. Maybe a little Croatia and Serbia here and some Belarussian and Bulgarian over there with a mix of Slovenia and Slovakia to finish out my tour of Eastern Europe. I never had much success in South America except with River Plate (*cough* hire me as manager… *cough*) but again it wasn’t as interesting as the others.

So here is my trophy case so far:

Domestic Leagues:
Serie A: x 5 (Palermo x 3, Milan x 2)
Serie C1/A: x 1 (A.C Legnano)
Serie C2/C: x 1 (Igea Virtus)
Vyscha Liha (Ukrainian): x 1 (Dinamo Kyiv)
Russian Premier League: x 1 (CSKA Moscow)
Argentine Primera: x 1 (River Plate)

Continental Cups:

European Super Cup: x 6 (Palermo x 4, Milan x 2)
Club World Cup: x 2 (Palermo, Milan)
UEFA Cup: x 1 (Palermo)
Domestic Cups:
Sicilian Cup: x 2 (Palermo)
Italian Cup: x 1 (Palermo)
Italian Super Cup: x 3 (Palermo)
Superkubok Ukrainy: x 1 (Dinamo Kyiv)
Kubok Rosii: x 1 (CSKA Moscow)

International:
Africa Cup of Nations: x 1 (Algeria)
