TSV 1860 München
I have done many seasons on football manager with various sides and a few foreign sides aswell, but this time i wanted to give myself the challenge of taking the smaller club in a city and try and make them as big or bigger than their city rivals. So who better to be than a team who shares the ground with their counter-parts? 1860 Munich play their home games at the allianz arena and get an average crowd of around 30,000. I know it will be tough but the foundations are in place to make this club as big as Bayern.

A Brief overview of 1860
1860 Munich have won the Bundesliga once in 1966 but are currently in the Bundesliga 2nd division after being relegated from the German top flight in 2004. Their last trophy win came 19years ago when the lions won the German division Bavaria. I hope to put an end to their wait and get into the Bundesliga and start challening the likes of Bayern and Dormund. We have been given 33-1 odds to win the league so the bookmakers believe we have work to do.
The squad
I imagine most of you reading this won't know the players that play for 1860 Munich, as i didn't, but i will give you a brief run down of the key men for me:

Gabor Kiraly
Im sure most of you remember Gabor Kiraly that used to play for Crystal palace and Burnley (yes the one who wore tracksuit bottoms instead of shorts). He has been at Munich since 2009 and will be a key man he is 35 but as you can see from his ratings is still a quality goalkeeper.

Daniel Bierofka
Daniel Bierofka is now in his 2nd spell with the lions after joining in 2007 but has been marred by injuries throughout his career. Daniel needs to be instrumental as my only central midfielder, im hoping his work rate and determination will be great factors in helping me achieve promotion (and that he stays fit).

Daniel Halfar and Stefan Aigner
Both these players are similar, good old fashioned wingers, i have managed to tie them both up to new contracts as Daniel was wanted by Hoffenheim and Stefan wanted by Hannover, Nurnberg and Werder Bremen and i couldn't afford to lose them.

Benjamin Lauth
Benjamin Lauth is my key, top quality striker, hence why he is wanted by Leverkusen. Lauth is back for his 2nd spell with 1860 Munich after starting his career with them in 2000, Benjamin has made over 180 appearences for the Lions and im hoping this season he can improve on the 16 goals he scored last season, a lot to ask but i think he can do it!
Staff and Fixtures
When i took over the job the first thing i did was look at the staff and realised they was all poor, so i realised every member of staff apart from one assistant manager (yes i had 3) and replaced them with the likes of Dietmar Hamann and Argentinas national sides coach Julio Olarticoechea:

The Big news regarding fixtures is that i managed to arrange a massive game against our stadium sharers Bayern Munich, our board have estimated this will bring in around 600K to help the club, here are the rest of my fixtures:
