Hello and welcome to my very first FM blog AND my first proper attempt at the famous pentagon challenge!
I have been playing FM for 8 years now and seem to have done every kind of challenge under the sun (bottom tier to the champions league, sleeping giant, journeyman challenge, rise of a nation), however the pentagon challenge has never really appealed to me until now - which is strange considering my love of travel. I have been thinking about sharing my FM adventures for some time now and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so!
For those that are not aware the pentagon challenge is simple: start as an unemployed, retired Sunday league footballer with no coaching badges or experience and win the 5 playable continental competitions within football manager (Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe).
I was under no illusions about how tough and time consuming this was going to be, but I was itching to get started. First task: Find my first job...
