How I'm gonna do this: I'm gonna manage both Granada and Udinese at the same time, I feel like it would be too much with Watford as well but who knows.. If it goes badly for them I might take over Watford in the future as well. But I believe in Quiqué Sanchez Flores, as a Atletico...

Granada C.F In 2009, Udinese's Pozzo family complete Granada takeover. In 2006–07, Granada played in Group IV of the third level after four seasons in Tercera (level 4 of the Spanish pyramid). Three years later, in July 2009, the club was in such financial difficulty that it was on the brink...

2010-11, Udinese appoints Francesco Guidolin. In the summer transfer window of 2010, Udinese sold Gaetano D'Agostino, Simone Pepe, Marco Motta, and Aleksandar Luković. They also brought in players that proved to be the key to their success in the 2010–11 Serie A; Mehdi Benatia and Pablo Armero...

Introduction: First of all I have to say I've tried to do this save/manager story in earlier FMs but I have never really stuck to it but it's something I've been wanting do and hopefully I can stick to it this time.
