Ok, so this thing has kinda bugged me for a while now, and maybe some of you have noticed this as well.

Why are not the manager of the club you take control of in the beginning of them game ever re-hired by other club?

i.e. I'm managing Newcastle, and in my third season Sam Allardyce is still unemployed!

Some remain unemployed yes, but some do find new jobs. I guess it's just your game.

So, they will remain unemployed for the rest of their career?

Well, I've never really played far enough to even look at this, added to the fact I've never really noticed it either.

But they should get a job at some point.

Are there any other examples of high profile managers that this has happened to?

Jose morinho is still unemployed in third season as well, and there have been several big club sacking their managers..

I've had this too. And Martin Jol is still unemployed, and it's 2011. I was very surprised that this happened. The thing that surprised me most was that, after the 2010 World Cup, a semi-final finish and the 2008 Euro Championships evidently weren't enough for France, and they fired Raymond Domenech. Wenger voluntarily left Arsenal to join France, and Domenech was hired to replace him.

I mean, certainly, Domenech has a good reputation, but he's just been fired. Wouldn't there be a cooling-off period, and wouldn't Arsenal, with people like Jol and Mourinho out there, want a more successful manager?

David Moyes went to Blackpool when the manager got sacked, he saved them from relegation and they're my affiliate now :O

Sir Ferguson happened the same in all my game as well, and it have been bugged for several version already

Mourinho's completely retired from my game in Dec 2014. To my knowledge, he never got a job. Wegner's still at Arsenal, Benitez is still at Liverpool, Ferguson is out of the game after resigning in 2009 (ManU hired Coppell to replace him, and he has gone on to great success. Coppell now manages England).

Allardyce is managing Inverness, Jol resigned from Spurs in 2012 and is still unemployed, Hughs still manages Blackburn, Marseille's manager resigned in 2009 and is no longer in the game, Milan's Costacurta now manages ManU (hired after Coppell quit to go to England, but he was unemployed from 2008 to 2011 and with Real Madrid 'till 2014 and the move to ManU).

Gilbiati resigned from Real in 2009 and is no longer in the game, Prado left Barca in 2010 and is gone, too. Koeman's gone from PSV to Porto to Barca. Lastly, Camacho's out of Benifica in 2010 and is now with Fiorentina.

I don't know. Seems to me managers retire from the game ~age 65. In my world, there are 2 managers in the game aged 66 and nobody older, one of them being Millwall's Warnock, who was sacked 5 April 2008, hired by Coventry three weeks later, and left them in 2011.

The AI also seems unwilling to hire anybody much older than 60, probably because it knows they're going to retire soon ...

dola, sorry.

Then again, Jol's (Continental rep) been unemployed since 2012 (aged 56), and in 2014 he's only 58 ... either he's asking too much for any AI to hire him, or the age thing kicks in earlier than 60...
