Salvando Santos | Part 1 | A Fallen Giant
One of my main saves in Football Manager 2025 was going to be a youth-focused save with a Brazilian club. But, with the ongoing delay to the game, I’m not sure whether that save will come to fruition, so I decided to head to Brazil for a new FM24 challenge.

La Resurrección – 2
Welcome back to Galicia – it’s a grand place, you will be very happy here 😎 If you haven’t listened to Episode 377 of the 5 Star Potential Podcast or haven’t yet caught up on Part 1 of this series, click those links before reading on – this save has been 🔥🔥🔥 so far. Where Were We When we last left off, we had managed to blag our way into a playoff spot and overcame both Tenerife and Racing Santander to successfully gain promotion back to the top tier of Spain for the mighty Deportivo La Coruña after a crazy and eventful season which saw us go on an 11-game winning streak which ultimately resulted in our return to La Liga. Even though we are in no way ready in terms of financial muscle, squad depth, infrastructure and indeed player quality – the board are delighted, though the measly €8 million transfer budget they provided won’t go very far at this level; remember we will now be going up against the Mbappé’s and Bellingham’s of Real Madrid, the Yamal’s and Lewandowski’s of Barcelona and the Griezmann’s and Alvarez’s of Atlético Madrid. €8 million – ever bring a knife to a gun-fight? With a media-predicted finish of 20th (i.e. rock bottom), bookmakers and journalists alike are convinced we go straight back down by the end of our second season at Estadio Riazor (assuming yours truly will still be here to tell the tale). We’ll show them right? Transfer Time 🔁 A hell of a lot of work to do here so let’s get straight to it. No fewer than 10 players leave the club after their contracts expired, most notably club stalwart and ex-Arsenal player Lucas Perez who at 36 just won’t cut it in La Liga this season – no time for sentiment around here. That means we have a whole bunch of recruitment to tend to in terms of adding quality and depth to somehow prepare ourselves for top flight football next season. In terms of saleable assets – we are quite limited. Mario Sorrano had been first-choice however is quite an average forward when compared to La Liga standards; Villareal didn’t think so though as they fork out €4m for his signature, bringing our total transfer budget to €12m+ for the season ahead – that we can work with 👐. Charlie Patino is another who attracted a lot of interest in the summer including newly promoted Burnley, however if we can get our business done without selling him then he will definitely play a part this season. Of course – it would be foolish to splurge half that budget on one player right? Welcome to Deportivo La Coruña Junior Kroupi!!! A player who I had spotted once or twice before in FM24 but had never really looked closely at – we are talking definite wonderkid potential, only 19 and despite him being linked with the likes of Spurs, Inter and Dortmund we move early (4th of July to be precise) and agree an €11m fee with French side Lorient, paying 50% up front to secure the talented forward’s signature who at the very least should fetch us a serious profit down the line as part of our Buy Low, Sell High strategy in this save. What a way to kick off the new transfer window!! 🚀 Speaking of wonderkids – I have already told you of my desire for a bit of nostalgia and narrative in this save, and when a former wonderkid (FM16 perhaps?) popped up in that lovely free agent list, I couldn’t resist. Franciso “Chico” Geraldes arrives on a free transfer having impressed against us in both games against Eldense last season. There’s nothing better than signing a pair of young talented full-backs permanently right? Channelling Eddie Howe’s masterstroke of signing Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, we try to replicate this with the signings of 21-year-old Frenchman William Mikelbrencis (pronounced “who the f*ck knows”) for €4m from Hamburg SV, along with 23-year-old Croat Niko Vukančić for a bargain €325k from FC Erzgebirge Aue in the German Third Tier. We also add a bunch of loan signings to the group; centre-back Tarek Buchmann from Bayern, winger Ilyas Chaira from Girona, forward Samuele Mulattieri from Sassuolo and of course a statutory Irish signing in the form of midfielder Joe Hodge from Wolves ☘️. Suddenly our once depleted squad is looking a LOT healthier given our financial limitations – whether it’s good enough for La Liga? You’ll have to read on to find out. Season 2 Death, taxes and newly promoted teams getting drawn against the league champions in your opening fixture…… Great fun coming up against a Real Madrid side who have since spent upwards of €130m adding the likes of Goncalo Inacio, Alex Grimaldo and Karim Konaté to their already star-studded side. Fortunately we bounce back with a 2-1 win at home to Real Betis, and from there it’s a lot of the same stuff as last season which is fine considering we are now a league above – lose to Girona, beat Real Sociedad, lose to Atlético Madrid, draw with Sevilla, lose to Valencia, beat Villareal – a complete rollercoaster of form which I guess comes as standard when you are newly promoted and are embedding 8 new players into a squad. That kind of form summarises the first half of our season, no real shock results or giant killings though a 6-game unbeaten run in November gives us a kick up the league and by the end of 2024 we find ourselves in 10th place in the league..not too shabby at all 🙌. We enter January 2025, what you might expect to be a nice quiet time of year post-Christmas and with us casually enjoying mid-table La Liga life etc.. We couldn’t have been more wrong…. 💥 Bomb drop #1 – Bouldini injured AGAIN. That man picks up more knocks than the door at Halloween – a quick look at his injury history tells us he has had no fewer than 7 types of injury since we started the save, effectively the Moroccan Callum Wilson which no-one needs to be dealing with. Onto the transfer list he goes, Espanyol seem interested… 💥 Bomb drop #2 – we get a tasty €4m offer for fringe player David Mella from Lyon, he’s only made a handful of substitute appearances so we might as well take the cash and run. Merci Lyon!! 🤌 💥 Bomb drop #3 – the board find a late sense of Christmas spirit and out of nowhere offer us the opportunity to increase our transfer budget; naturally we say yes, but keep your hats on – it goes from €2m to €4m with a little bit of wiggle room, I’m sure we’ll find a use for it. 💥 Bomb drop #4 – sorry Charlie Patino, we just couldn’t say no… Suddenly we find ourselves IN THE MONEYYY!! €20 million big ones plus whatever we can bring in for Bouldini if he can hobble his way through a medical somewhere – there’s only one thing for it, it’s time to go shopping.. One small step… We definitely need some more flair, more width and a bit more directness in our play – sure, all this inverting and cutting inside is fun, but every now again you need a player to just run at a defence and make something happen. If you can find one who is an ex-Arsenal academy graduate, who is Irish and who has the greatest name in the history of football – well, all the better for it 😄. Welcome Armstrong Oko-Flex who arrives from FC Zurich for €5.5m 💪. There’s no point stopping there right? Keep the Irish coming – we somewhat break the bank for the 6-month loan of Andrew Omobamidele from Nottingham forest, which costs us €1.7m in fees as well as covering 80% of his €42,000 per week wages. We desperately need to shut up shop at the back and he should slot in nicely alongside fellow compatriot Anselmo Garcia MacNulty ☘️☘️ . What to do with this chunk of cash we have left…the aforementioned Bouldini injury problems are a real issue, we can’t depend on him anymore and Kroupi isn’t really built for the lone striker role. We need someone athletic, someone quick, explosive with a cool head and most importantly someone who can finish…all for hopefully less than €10 million right? Bienvenido Cameron Archer – €6.25m from Southampton who for some reason decide he is surplus to requirements after they avoided relegation last season on goal difference 🤷. Espanyol eventually arrive in with a €5m offer for Bouldini, however the chief rejects their terms and decides he’d rather be injury prone in Galicia over Catalonia. We do however add talented young playmaker Tom Bischof on loan from Hoffenheim to cover the gap left by Patino, and suddenly we are feeling a lot more positive about the latter half of our second season at Deportivo La Coruna..NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW. Deja-Vu We just had to say it… Svetoslav Vutsov, one of the unsung heroes of this save so far having signed for €1.5m last season and now valued over €10m goes and breaks his collarbone, effectively ruling him out for most of the rest of the season. This is an absolute DISASTER, not only because he is a key player for us (even if we have conceded a shed-load of goals this season) but also because our backup keeper Eric Puerto is significantly rubbish – this may be a problem seeing as we still have the likes of Barcelona and Atlético Madrid ahead of us 🤦. I’d love to tell you that everything fell into place, that we went on another 11-game winning streak and stormed our way into a European place. I’d love to tell you that our new signings absolutely terrorised La Liga and Cameron Archer is now a superstar in Spain. I’d love to tell you we didn’t get knocked out of the Copa Del Rey Second Round against Real Oviedo. I’d love to tell you that our predicted “Golden Generation” Youth Intake turned out that way rather than a handful of relatively average youth players, none of whom are even Irish 😔. I’d even love to tell you that we managed to hold on to a Top 10 finish… Sadly we did none of those things!!! Though Archer scored a penalty on his debut in a 3-1 win over Girona, he only manages 4 goals in 15 odd games, and the same goes for Oko-Flex who picks up a goal and 3 assists in 10 starts; surprisingly Ilyas Chaira is the pick of the lot, 8 goals and 6 assists in all competitions puts him behind our top scorer for the season Junior Kroupi who racks up 10 goals for the season along with 4 assists – overall, a distinctly average campaign and some poor results in the latter stages mean that we drop to 11th place overall in our first season back in La Liga; of course, having been predicted to finish last we will absolutely take it and the board are over the moon, but I can’t help but feel disappointed – no standout games, no promising individual performance, in fact nothing of note to get the juices flowing bar an absolute flurry of transfer activity. Maybe I’m expecting too much? Junior Problems We need to talk about Junior Kroupi. We signed him for €11m in total with €5.5m paid up front and the rest spread over 3 annual installments; by the end of his first season he is worth €32m-€48m 😮. …

If you have played Football Manager or its previous iteration, Championship Manager, as long as I have (nearly 30 years, yes, I am old), you collect an always useful collection of wonderkids in your memory.

Zambian manager Trebor Mahtal etched his name into the history books as he led a pretty scary Spain side to World Cup glory in 2070. The 86-year-old manager tendered his resignation and was swiftly offered roles by Nigeria, Senegal, Uruguay and, most intriguingly, Argentina and Brazil. But he was done with management and decided to retire on a high.
