How did you sytart at 26. It only lets you start as young as 29. Come to think about it, on my game, whatever year you say you were born it's always 1977.
For some reason, if you create you manager later in the game, rather than at the beginning, the '1977' threshold doesn't work anymore.
I'm not sure how clear that is, so let me put it another way.
I started my game with a manager called 'holiday manager' because I wanted to holiday and see which teams became available and then create my real manager to take over at the club (and retire the 'holiday manager').
When a club finally became available, I retired my 'holiday manager' and then created a new manager with DOB in 1982, making him 25. For some reason the usual default threshold of 1977 didn't kick in and my manager started the game as a 25-year-old.
I loaded the league so I started in March, as none of the playable clubs caugt my fancy. I holidayed until the end of the season. Created a new manager, DOB 1983, only it set it to 1978. I guess I will always have to start at 29
Just got a son for the first time.I started the game at the age of about 62.He joined the youth squad at the start of my 3rd season in charge,but it took him a few weeks to add me to his favoured personel having made no one on one contact with him.This is called.....Neglect

Clear as mud?

I think that is because the lowest selectable manager age and the default age setting for ages below that are different. If you put in a date of birth that is too young it will default you to 29/30, however you can start with an age as low as 25/26.
The extra year you holidayed for has probably made your manager age eligible when in the previous season it wasn't.
He has been featuring regularly for the Under 19 squad (I have not been controlling them), making 13 starts and 5 sub appearances, and scoring 10 goals!
His development hasn't really got going yet, though he has got slightly worse at penalty taking (surprise, he's a regen!) and his strength has improved.
I think he has developed a PPM - although it may have been there when he first appeared, I can't remember.
Overall, he has been in magnificent form and I have quite high hopes for hime, even though my coaches don't rate him and suggest I should offload him! My own son for goodness sake!

Thank you Dafuge - that makes perfect sense.
I thought it was just a nuance of the game and something that anyone could do but what you have said explains it perfectly.
