Anybody else try this?

I had an idea a while back and have now done it a couple times. What I do is create a player for a player career but I SIM about half a season or maybe a full season. Then I retire and see what jobs are open and start my manager career. To me it's like starting an FM game unemployed. Anyone else do this? It's kinda fun.

Uh, that's brilliant, lol. Mind kinda blown, never thought of that. What do you think are the added benefits/differences?

That's incredible. Top prospect gets a career ending injury, but still has love for the game and transitions into management. The script writes itself.

How many years can you manage after you retire the player? Love this idea.

Well it started with me playing a season as totti and then going on to manage Genoa for about 3 seasons. The type of teams that you get offers from are usually from similar leagues as the team your player is on. I did some testing, if your player is in the championship you'll get offers from countries like Austria, Belgium, and championship and lower teams in England. Had a player in the Netherlands and got offers from France, Portugal, and Russia. So keep that in mind when choosing where your player starts.

Probably depends on how long you go as a player. I've never gone beyond 3 or 4 seasons after retiring the player.
