Hi,

I'm playing a LLM game and would also like to apply for some international jobs, should positions become available. Hopefully so as I've got large DB running and with about 3/4 of the "extra" countries selected for a good selection of players.

So, I'm wondering how others have fared with international management. What are the lowest or most obscure international teams you've managed and how have you done?

Did you apply for the jobs or were they offered? Also, what club level were you managing at?

I once manged Isreal, very tough to manage, every time I thought we were making progress someone came along and hammered me. Unforunately I wan't good enough to be offered the job so I was forced to apply.

I've also managed Cezch Republic, I got to the Semis of the World Cup then resigned, and I had a spell at Brazil which was largely dissapointing, I left out Kaka and Rohnaldinho for a friendly against some rubbish country I hadn't even heard of, and they refused to play for me again.

Well I once managed the Turks & Caicos Islands for around 14 days, before I realised how impossible the task was and quit!

I can even prove it since it is the game I am still running!

Take a look at the International Challenge in the challenges forum - some of the most obscure nations I've ever seen!

One of my friends managed Cezch Republic... and won the world cup (mainly because all the good teams were knocked out in the group stages). Now he's managing England.

I once applied for the job at Reunion on FM2007. It wasn't on the FIFA rankings, but had a full squad of players, ALL contracted to french clubs.

I did a bit of research and its a small french colony off the coast of madagascar!

Theres an international challenge in the challenges thread with the worst teams on the rankings being used naturally. Most of the people are therefore in Oceania managing teams like American Samoa and Cook Islands.

burkina faso on 05, that was in a proper game as well not an international specific or rubbish team specific game.

I tried Cyprus, and it failed so bad... in fact it failed so bad there is nothing to compare it to.

I nearly drew with Ireland though, then they scored 3 in the last 2 minutes. Final score 6-3.

I'm managing Senagal right now, but they're not all that obscure ...
