[quote]While we’re sure many of us out there dream of being able to become professional gamers and basically get paid to play games competitively, not all of us have the chops to get to that level, which is why it’s always nice to read about people who actually succeed while playing video games although in this case, it seems that this particular gamer was so good at playing the game that he was actually offered a job in real life which basically did the same thing. 21-year old gamer Vugar Huseynzade of Sweden has reportedly managed to land a job as a supporting manager of a football team despite having no experience managing a football team before – unless you count Sega and Sports Interactive’s Football Manager series. Huseynzade will be a manager in a support role of one of the Azerbaijan’s top football clubs, and it seems that despite his lack of experience, he has managed to beat out big names who have applied for the position including French legend, Jean-Pierre Papin. Not too shabby![/quote]

Same appeal as military or city sims, and he probably won't do a good job unless he knows how to coach.
I make all my cities in Simcity profitable, Make me mayor.
I've spent countless hours on My Player in NBA 2K.
If I get the word out, maybe I'll be drafted next year.

They're the boss of the coaches, but don't usually do any of the coaching work themselves.

Most managers tend to do a lot of the coaching work themselves; leading drills, conditioned games, analysis, strategy and to an extent, the psychological aspect of the game. First team coaches tend to do most of the legwork for the head coach.
If you're telling me that men like Ferguson, Benitez, Mancini, Rodgers, Vilanova, Lennon and Wenger don't coach then I can only disagree with you.
Think about how many tf2 players that could work in a hat shop.
Guys dont get your hopes up fsx is not an approved sim, your hours mean shit to the faa

There's nothing to say you couldn't run for mayor and win.
Although I'd suggest not making your platform about Simcity.
i've spent almost 2000 hours in tf2 when are the mercenary firms gonna start calling me?

I agree with you. You're directly responsible to the "club president," which I assume means owner. That means at the end of the day, if the club president isn't happy, then the shit comes down on you.
In other words, you do whatever the hell you must to keep him happy. That includes coaching and shovelling horse shit if needed.
