Well apart from Red Star a good shout is their biggest Serbian rivals, Partizan. If you'd rather have a less successful, but still decent club, Vojvodina are that team. It's the perfect team that could take down Red Star and Partizan. Dinamo Zagreb is also a strong team to manage, they're the top team in Croatia. Hajduk Split and Rijeka are also good Croatian teams. And I never managed in Hungary, but I know that Debrecen are a quality side in real life and it would be interesting to take them on top of Europe. That's for the south. In central/eastern Europe my best recommendation is Polonia Warszawa from Poland, if you want to manage a club which will fight off the current holders of the Polish throne, Legia Warszawa, Wisla Krakow and Lech Poznan. Also there are a few quality clubs in Ukraine. The main are Shakhtar Donetsk (they have money) and Dynamo Kyiv (they rather have tradition). There are also a few clubs lurking around third spot: Chornomorets, Dnipro and Metalist.
So these are pretty much my recommendations. The Polish league is similar to the English and Italian ones where more clubs compete for the title and the Ukrainian and Serbian leagues are rather similar to the Spanish where there are 2 top teams while the others fight for the 3rd spot. Though I can't compare the Hungarian and Croatian leagues to someone. So my point is, why not make one of these leagues a league where there is only one club that is ruling... your club...
P.s: After you make your decision, do tell me. I'd like to know what kind of a choice you made

But from what I read, they are the most popular team in Austria and they hold the record for most titles in Austria (32). So yeah, if I was managing in Austria I'd choose them, maybe just for the fun we had with the penalty shoot-out lol. You know... I think next time I'll start playing with them
