Yet, these managers were not afforded the luxury of a digital \u2018dodgy lasagne\u2019, a virtual magic sponge or perfect-rated facilities. Rather, they used their guile, tenacity and creativity to forge a squad that stunned everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No shrinking violets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Team:<\/strong>&nbsp;Parma<\/li><li><strong>Era:<\/strong>&nbsp;1992-99<\/li><li><strong>Real-life FM Feature:&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8216;Club Vision&#8217;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2020 edition of the game boasts an all-new Club\nVision feature, wherein the club being managed has its own unique, long-term\naspirations and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 1992, the Parma board\u00a0\u2013 along with club manager Nevio Scala\u00a0\u2013 held the long-term aim of creating a more dynamic attacking setup. It was certainly a clear priority given the European campaign that would follow\u00a0Parma\u2019s recent shock Coppa Italia final win\u00a0against Juventus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parma duly acquired the services of Colombian forward Faustino Asprilla,\nand went on to lift the Cup Winners\u2019 Cup the year after their Coppa Italia win.\nSubsequently, over the following two campaigns, finishes of fifth and third\nwould ensure the steady stream of new talents. While Gianfranco Zola and 1994\nWorld Cup star Hristo Stoichkov were luxury buys, there was also room for some\nacademy-sourced talent, and the promotion of 17-year old Gianluigi Buffon would\nspark the career of a future World Cup winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1996, Carlo Ancelotti took the helm, and another South American \u2013\nnamely Hernan Crespo \u2013 would make waves in Serie A. His tally of 12 goals in\n1996\/97 proved vital towards Parma&#8217;s progress, aiding their push for an\nall-time high of second in the final standings. Fellow Argentine Juan Sebasti\u00e1n\nVer\u00f3n would also become one of Serie A\u2019s best playmakers in the late 1990s, while\nBuffon was quickly turning into Italy\u2019s best goalkeeper for a generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three were integral parts of the squad that ensured Parma ended the\n1990s as reigning UEFA Cup holders, keeping the Crusaders\u2019 fairytale alive as a\nnew century dawned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League Champions at 5000\/1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Team:<\/strong>&nbsp;Leicester City<\/li><li><strong>Era:<\/strong>&nbsp;2015-16<\/li><li><strong>Real-life FM Feature:&nbsp;<\/strong>Scouting &#8211; &#8216;Multiple Focuses&#8217;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Less than a year after managing Greece to an unforgivable home defeat against the Faroe Islands in November 2014, Claudio Ranieri found home with the vacant Leicester hotseat. The rest is history, and\u00a0not even the experts could see it coming. Simply put, a band of self-titled \u2018misfits\u2019 seamlessly gelled together in a way that they had no earthly right to, and won the Premier League title by a margin of ten points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all his maverick managerial skills, Ranieri&#8217;s triumph would never\nhave been realised without the services of Steve Walsh, and the vast scouting\nexperience he boasted. Walsh took the decision to focus not just on finding\nplayers with the physically combative qualities Leicester needed, but also look\ndeep into their psyche, and what would drive them on in the coming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already present were a trio of true Englishmen, in\nthe shape of Jamie Vardy, Marc Albrighton and Danny Drinkwater. All of them had\nbeen deemed surplus to requirements at their respective former clubs, and had\nmore reason than most to prove themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their unrivalled determination, they had been\npivotal in keeping Leicester up towards the back end of 2014\/15. Several new\nplayers with a similar history were needed alongside them though, and the\nadditions worked better than anyone could have dreamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing out particularly amongst the new additions were, of course,\nRiyad Mahrez and N\u2019Golo Kante, both of whom had learned their trade away from\nthe bright lights of Ligue 1. They had experienced the same rejection as\nDrinkwater et al, mainly due to their size. Yet, where there was vertical\ndeficiency, there was also blistering pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mahrez duly spent 2015\/16 utterly destroying the wide areas as an\nattacking winger, while Kante\u2019s presence equated to having a twelfth man in\nmidfield, with an utterly tireless approach to winning every ball, and winning\nevery game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018Old Big \u2019ead\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Teams:<\/strong>&nbsp;Derby County &amp; Nottingham Forest<\/li><li><strong>Era:<\/strong>&nbsp;1967-73 &amp; 1975-80<\/li><li><strong>Real-life FM Feature:&nbsp;<\/strong>Squad Development &#8211; &#8216;Playing Time Pathway&#8217;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Leicester are not, of course, the first past-or-present Premier League\nclub in the East Midlands to pull off such a shock \u2013 they are in fact the last.\nThis is down to two men, Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, who stand out as\nperhaps second only to Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley as the most successful\nmanager-and-assistant combination in English domestic football\u2019s entire\nhistory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2009,&nbsp;<em>The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Damned\nUnited&nbsp;<\/em>hit cinemas and resonated brilliantly amongst Derby, Leeds and\nneutrals alike. Naturally, there are fleeting references to the plethora of\ntalents signed in true Football Manager fashion by Clough and Taylor. However,\nthe time constraints inherent in feature films make it impossible for&nbsp;<em>The\nDamned United<\/em>&nbsp;to really delve into the long-term development of\nplayers, and the similarities that could subsequently be made to the Football\nManager series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amongst\u00a0Clough&#8217;s greatest success stories\u00a0in terms of player development are men like Dave Mackay (at Derby), who was an aged defender dismissed by many as too old for the top-flight. Yet, he thrived under Clough and used his experience to marshal his fellow Rams to glory. Years later, there was Forest&#8217;s maligned John Robertson, who had one foot in the exit door, before Clough turned him into a terrace hero and one of the most unplayable wingers on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the history books show, Derby County went from\nfloundering at the wrong end of the second division to English champions in the\nspace of just five years under Clough and Taylor. They proved that even the\nmost feared teams, such as Leeds United under Don Revie, could be overcome with\na positive, forward-thinking attitude on the pitch (or&nbsp;<em>Team (All):\n&#8220;I expect a win&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;as FM players know it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clough and Taylor would be reunited at Nottingham Forest several years\nlater, and enacted the same magic at a club going nowhere fast. A First\nDivision triumph in 1978 sparked the unlikeliest series of successive European\ntrophies in the following two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three wise men use their Swedes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Teams:<\/strong>&nbsp;Malmo &amp; Ostersunds<\/li><li><strong>Era:<\/strong>&nbsp;1979-2017<\/li><li><strong>Real-life FM Feature:&nbsp;<\/strong>Custom Formation &#8211;&nbsp;<em>&#8216;Fluid 4-4-2, Retain Possession, Zonal Marking&#8217;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first of Forest\u2019s aforementioned European triumphs had a quirky by-product, playing its part in\u00a0securing the high esteem\u00a0with which English managers are currently held in the Swedish top-flight. These three men are prominent in that regard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bob Houghton (1979)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clough\u2019s managerial counterpart in the 1979 European Cup final was Malmo\nboss Bob Houghton, and he remains the last manager to guide a Nordic team to\nthe final of Europe\u2019s premier continental club competition. He is largely\ncredited as the man who championed the Football Manager \u2018staple\u2019 that is zonal\nmarking, but doing so in a region then relatively unfamiliar with the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He used that as one of several tactical cornerstones, in order to give\nMalmo an unprecedented competitive edge in their run to the 1979 European Cup\nfinal. Along the way, Malmo&#8217;s high frequency of clean sheets saw them best the\nlikes of Soviet giants Dynamo Kiev and a growing Monaco team on the cusp of a\nbountiful 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roy Hodgson (1985)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Malmo would experience further successes under English management in the\nfollowing decade, with Roy Hodgson guiding the club to five successive\ntop-flight titles between 1985 and 1989.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were also standout results in Europe that would make any Football\nManager player in charge of&nbsp;minnows from the Allsvenskan league proud.\nAmongst them was a stalemate against Inter Milan at the San Siro in 1988,\nbefore drawing again there the following year, but this time doing so to the\neffect of progress in the European Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Graham Potter (2017)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Potter took Ostersunds up into the top-flight in 2015, despite having\nrelatively minimal financial resources. The slick, intricate passing game\ncoached by Potter and his staff kept the club afloat thereafter, and helped\nthem win the Swedish Cup in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an echo of 1980s Malmo, Potter\u2019s men negotiated the Europa League qualifiers through dogged discipline and determination. Ostersunds then\u00a0proceeded from the group stage, failing to top the group only by virtue of a narrow 3-2 aggregate deficit versus group winners Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ostersunds would progress no further,\nbut still managed a famous 2-1 win at Arsenal (2-4 on aggregate) in 2018,\ngiving Swedish clubs a new sense of pride on the continental stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes in football, there are stories of managerial success that go above and beyond, and look like something more akin to Football Manager.
